Yesterday we reached 200,000 fans on Facebook and Gov. Huckabee issued a thank you.

I have been reading some of the posts to that thread - I encourage others to do the same!

Here's one that caught my eye:

Congrats to Mike! How many do Palin, Romney, and Pawlenty have?

Palin has 1.4 mil, Romney has 255k. I don't know about TPaw.

How can we help Mike make more friends?

FYI Romney was hovering below 100,000 until he started paying for ads and that is when he passed Mike.

That's right! And Palin has so many mostly from when she ran as VP. She also runs lots of ads on other sites.

Poor Romney....you almost have to feel sorry for a guy who can only make friends when he buys them.

I finally caved and joined Facebook so I can be a Mike friend. I am puzzled about something. From my Facebook page, I searched friends for "Mike Huckabee" and got something like 45 results.

From those, I found this
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1845766158&ref=search&sid=100000930282897.98372839..1#!/profile.php?v=wall&ref=search&id=1845766158

And this
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1079893443&ref=search&sid=100000930282897.98372839..1

But the facebook page linked from this post did not come up - whassup with that?

(Also, I don't want my name to be showing up on facebook, I prefer to use a "screen" name - is that not possible?)

Here's the right page:

You're technically supposed to use your real name. But I know several people who just make up a name. However, you can't just use a name like "Quo Vadis Anima" or All-in-for-Anyone. It has to look like a real name.

The advantage to using your real name is that old friends and far-away family members can "search" for you and "Friend" you.

HOWEVER... when it asks for your date of birth, do not give the real one!!

And pay very careful attention to the Privacy Settings.

Choose a password that is NOT easy to guess.

Thanks! I re-did my search on "Mike Huckabee" and his was the first page that came up so I must've screwed up something the first time.

What is the hazard of using my real birthdate? Identity theft or something?

And who wants to friend me? (Don't make me beg! )

I'll be your friend:

Thanks, Shelley! (I'll be showing up as 'Vivian')

Hey Vivian - we're friends now on FB!!!!

Bump~
Mike is only 34 fans away from 205,000. That's 5000 new fans in 5 days. I've been watching, and at the busier times of day (lunch break, and early evening), he's been adding them at least 1 every couple minutes. He has nearly 300 new fans since 1:30 this afternoon, the last time I checked today.

If you haven't done so and you are on Facebook, go to the link above, and in the left sidebar click "Suggest to Friends." It only takes a minute.

He should be reaching 300k by the end of today. He's been adding a few thousand a day for the last few weeks. It was like 260k the beginning of last week I think. Let's hurry up and get him to 400k!

Maybe we can update the title of the thread when he reaches 300,000

I'll changed it as soon as it happens - we are about 2,000 away!

275 to go!
