UPDATE: (Nicole) It appears that the RNC is pretty happy with the number of “friends” it has on Facebook. Their thinking apparently is that it bodes well for the November election, as they for the first time have more than the DNC. I’ve heard rumors they’re shopping that story to some friendly reporters.

So the RNC is making a big deal that as of today, it has passed the DNC in number of subscribers to their Facebook groups by 500. Let's deny them that small victory by taking back the lead. I've already gone and subscribed to the DNC's Facebook page. If you're on Facebook, do the same.
Within two and a half hours of the Daily Kos post, the DNC Facebook group reached 15,000 members, the original goal of the RNC (which remains well under 12,000 ).
