Spin Cycle
We Crown the Biggest Twit Vying for Governor of Hawaii

by Jacob Shafer

July 29, 2010

Lord of the Tweets...

The three major candidates vying to be the state's next governor all use Twitter. Of course, not all Twitter users are created equal. Here's how they stack up (as of this writing)...

DUKE AIONA

Tweets: 766 Following: 3,252 Followers: 3,276

Verdict: Interesting and/or noteworthy people tend to have a much higher followers-to-followees ratio.

NEIL ABERCROMBIE

Tweets: 902 Following: 5,540 Followers: 6,182

Verdict: Slightly better ratio, but still not great. And not many followers for a guy who held national office for close to two decades.

MUFI HANNEMANN

Tweets: 1,252 Following: 1,547 Followers: 618,872

Verdict: No that is not a typo. With more than 60 times as many followers as his two opponents combined, Hannemann is the Ashton Kutcher of Hawaii gubernatorial politics.
