Phelps beats Obama in Facebook race 

Comments:1   Add your comment

It's official, Michael Phelps is now the most popular person on Facebook, with 1,483,568 fans, knocking Barrack Obama off his long-held top spot.

Obama closely trails Phelps with 1,421,221 fans - which is a along way ahead of his Presidential opponent John McCain, who weighs in with a very slim looking 225,413 fans.

If the results of our Opinion Tracking of the London Mayoral elections is anything to go by, then McCain is in for a real beating in the upcoming election.  Given the existing Facebook stakes, maybe the Republicans should ditch McCain, and back Phelps for President . . .

haha

but I'd say that facebook (and you probably know this) bears to resemblance to the actual voters. Among Obama's fans are minors and non US citizens/residents who really have no vote at the end of the day. Although, I don't doubt that Obama will be leading in numbers after taking out the those variables.
