In Which WaPo Fails Math

On Facebook, where the campaigns can interact with supporters and extract valuable information from them, Obama has 27 million supporters, while Romney is far behind with just 2 million.

The Romney campaign is building advantages, however. Where 5 percent of Obama’s fans are engaging on Facebook at a given time — for example, by liking, commenting on or sharing a post or a video — 32 percent of Romney’s are engaged.

0.05 x 27,000,000 = 1,350,000. 0.32 x 2,000,000 = 640,000.

Come on.
