Myface
OK, OK, how many friends you have on Facebook is likely not a primary indicator of your ability to win a political race. Several people have told me that since last week’s entry. But I still think it’s interesting to note who’s doing what.
Democratic county treasurer Jo Anne Johnson wrote (twice) to say she does indeed have a Facebook page and has numerous friends. While she does have a nice Web site I was unable to find her Facebook page until this afternoon. Johnson emailed to ask why I had not called her about finding this page. In fact I did not call a single person about their Facebook pages as that’s the whole point of the Internet: getting information about very important things without actually ever having to speak with a live human. For the record, Johnson has 31 friends.
Meanwhile, Commissioner Carlotta Grandstaff unveiled her new campaign slogan to me this morning: “Facebook free since 1954.”
While not every candidate is on Facebook, or even the Internet (”The Internet? Is that thing still around?” — Homer Simpson) at least no one has yet to do what one of my relatives-through-marriage has done — call it “Myface.”

Jim Shreve was beat out by Stolz. Not sure on the facebook status of Stolz even though Jim did have a personal site.
