Ron Paul is missing from your list. I've heard as much about him on Twitter as I have anyone else. Shame on you for excluding one of the candidates, and an important voice at that.

This data is pretty much amazing. Sure beats my bubblegum and chicken wire system on my IM/g-talk. Thanks much!

Uhhhh RON PAUL??? That was my first thought. Please don't tell me that Twitter has joined the "mainstream" in suppressing him. I know I have mentioned Ron Paul in my Twitter's.
