A quick look at the number of Twitter followers shows the amount of work either Mr. Romney or Dr. Gingrich have in order to get their message out. In fact, combine the number of followers on twitter for the two Republican presidential candidates and they don't even add up to the number of people following John McCain.
Ouch.
Campaigns are going to need to improve their push into social networks. More important, if either candidate wins the nomination then the whole Republican party will need to push into social networks.
