We recently told you about all the social networking sites that John Edwards belongs to, but who is really winning the social networking war? As you might imagine, it's Barak Obama - no question.
A look at Barak's facebook profile shows 4,650 wall posts (candidates don't have a friend-count), and 185 facebook gifts, which users pay a dollar for. He has posted 95 notes, four videos, and 95 pictures.
Hillary Clinton races to catch up, but only has 2,715 wall posts and 13 gifts -- 172 less than Barak! She has posted no notes and no videos and only 23 pictures (which can be tagged by others).
John Edwards, though a member of them all, doesn't have as strong of a showing on facebook. Only 1,138 wall posts and 2 gifts (right that's 183 less than Barak, and 11 less than Hillary). He has, not surprisingly, posted 12 notes, 9 videos, and 44 pictures.
But even John Edwards has the Republicans beaten. Rudy Giuliani doesn't seem to have a facebook profile. Mitt Romney has 1,008 wall posts, no gifts...seven videos and 185 pictures. He's posting the stuff...but not getting the gifts. McCain comes in last, with only 140 wall posts...no gifts...four notes, no videos and only four pictures.
Chris Dodd, a candidate who got to facebook early, has his privacy settings so you can only see his profile if you're his friend. And well...we're not.
That's a lot like Giuliani on MySpace, who has a private profile. We don't know if this is because he doesn't know any better...or maybe it's his old facebook profile for all his buddies before he was running for president.
Barak also leads the Myspace war with 86,071 friends - way surpassing John Edwards' 16,562 and Hillary Clinton's meek 6,577. Joe Biden has 1,365 and Chris Dodd...546. Maybe that is why you have to be his friend to see his facebook profile.
Romney has 3,699, McCain has 3,244.

I've read several places that Ron Paul had the most MySpace friends among Republicans. I get the feeling you didn't look at the GOP too closely, and that's your prerogative.
