Likes for Potential GOP Presidential Candidates

Below is a table of Facebook likes for GOP candidates who may be running for president:

   GOP candidate             Likes                                   Notes

Sarah Palin 2,769,978  
Mitt Romney     803,069  
Mike Huckabee     539,501  
Ron Paul     305,123  
Donald Trump     177,995  
Newt Gingrich       111,141  
Tim Pawlenty       72,877  
Herman Cain       53,884 ex-CEO and President of Godfather’s Pizza and ex-radio show host
Mike Pence       47,651  
Rick Santorum       13,127  
Rudy Giuliani          2,168  
Buddy Roemer              296 ex-governor of Louisiana
Harold Heard                67 businessman

If you notice Sarah Palin got the most likes. This is not too surprising to me. But if you believe the Left-wing pundits you would think she doesn’t even have a fighting chance.

Donald Trump said during the CPAC conference that he did not think Ron Paul had a chance at winning. And yet Ron Paul’s likes are a lot more than his.

I found Buddy Roemer’s candidacy for POTUS by Googling “Presidential Exploratory Committee.” It seems a lot of candidates got to start this committee before deciding to run for president. I wonder if  George Washington, Thomas Jefferson or Abe Lincoln had these committees. Probably not.

The last candidate Harold Heard I saw on my Facebook page. One of my “likes” talked about him so I included him in the table for fun.  Not too bad a guy.
