Marco Rubio Has More Friends on Facebook than the DNC

Former House Speaker Marco Rubio, the leading Republican candidate in the race for the U.S. Senate, is celebrating the fact that his campaign has more followers on Facebook than the Democratic National Committee -- or any other candidate across the nation running for theSenate.

Throughout this campaign, Facebook has been instrumental in communicating our message about going to Washington to be a check and balance on the big-spending agenda in Congress while offering a clear and positive alternative, said Rubio. Im proud of the support our limited government message has generated and how Facebook has been and continues to be an important forum for idea-based debates about our countrys future. I look forward to continuing this conversation with Floridians on Facebook.
