Poor Lynn- one fewer person wants to send you to Washington. A pity.

Comparing a pre-Republican Primary chart to a post-Republican Primary chart shows Congresswoman Nancy Boyda (still) outpacing Lynn Jenkins in the gathering of online friends. Yes, yes, fine, we all know that doesn't translate directly into votes, but one thing is for sure: among people who are paying attention to politics & use Facebook and MySpace there is no great desire to see their Member of Congress with someone like Lynn Jenkins.

Sorry to be late- but with the holiday we got a little behind on our updates. Regardless, here we are back with our weekly update of how each of our major party candidates are doing in the world of social networking.

We're tracking Facebook and MySpace only.

Our first week that brings us anyone with falling numbers- Lynn Jenkins managed to lose one person from her "Send Lynn to Washington" group on Facebook. Sign of the apocalypse, right? ;-). Jim Ryun's numbers continue to increase steadily, but Congresswoman Nancy Boyda's numbers are frickin' unbelievable. There is either a very real enthusiasm behind her, or she's got really, really good Web 2.0 staff. Either way, great job Team Boyda!

Another week that sees the most movement from Boyda, though Ryun continues a slow upward trek and even Jenkins saw some new peeps on the Facebook side of things.

In end, we understand such things are hard for Republicans....there aren't so many young people you identify with the GOP...but it's so good they're trying.
