One Million Strong for Barack: Obama Facebook Phenomenon!

I thougt this was really cool. I don't know if it reflects real support for Obama but, he's sure kicking the other candidates butts.

Talking 'Bout An Obama Facebook Revolution
http://www.mydd.com/story/2007/1/25/165930/043

Adam Conner pointed this out earlier, but the Obama facebook craze is really interesting. Nine days ago, a guy named Farouk Olu Aregbe started a facebook group called one million strong for Barack. A graduate of Missouri Western State University, Aregbe was the student body President for two terms and the President of the black student association, and he's now pursuing an MBA. The facebook group he startedhas broken the 100,000 member barrier. The target is 1,000,000 members by February 5. Every campaign thinks that they are going to be awesome online, that they will hire the best strategists and focus on what the internet can do for them. But here we have a facebook group that might sign up one million young people in three weeks.

I actually sort of know a couple of the founders. I hope if/when they cashout they get billions. They seemed that nice/idealistic. Unless they sell to newscorp. In that case I hope they get screwed. Zuckerberg, the main guy def seems like a liberal. I think that Chris is gay so odds are he's a lib too.
