Presidential Debate & Social Media

Both Mitt Romney and Obama's Facebook Page were filled with viewers and likes! It's amazing to see that there are so many followers for both the presidents.  The Young Vote is a huge section of Undecided Voters, and a vast majority of America's young are connected to multiple forms of social media.  Facebook alone is used as a huge resource for getting information to the public - especially the 70 Million young voters in America.  Social Media now plays a huge role in all news and media, it's real time, and provides a way for information to be given to the general public.  Specifically, Individual candidates can stay CONNECTED with the general public through sharing on their Facebook and twitter pages.  Although they may not specifically be making these statements, they have media consultants and advisors that can spread the candidates values and what they believe in through social media.  There also has been numerous comments after the presidential debate.
The following are both the president's Facebook pages:
