Stephen Colbert for President campaign is leading online polls

What started as a joke, does not appear to be a joke. Creating the fastest-growing Facebook group in the history of the social networking site, Colbert ‘08 fans came together 861,595 strong last night to completely silent Ron Paul supporters, who had previously dominated the online campaign space.

“The group was growing at over 120 people per second at it’s peak” according to Jalali Hartman, CEO of Yovia.com, a social media research firm, “It really demonstrated the power that a group of people online can have.”

Hartman, social media optimization firm saw over 6,000 votes in 1 hour for Colbert, putting him at the lead of the 2008PresidentialPoll.com, an open-forum internet straw poll, which has been running since May.

“We thought the Ron Paul supporters where a force online”, said Hartman, “But Stephen Colbert fans completely eclipsed Ron Paul Fans and demonstrated that they are a strong voice on the internet”.
