HERMAN CAIN SUSTAINS MOMENTUM ON TWITTER Cain Leads Romney in Twitter Valuation, Poised to Pass Him in Followers Bachmann

Drops to Last Place WASHINGTON, November 2, 2011 Qorvis Communications, one of the fastest-growing integrated communications firms in the U.S., today released its monthly Twitter Valuation Analysis for the 2012 presidential campaign, with a special emphasis on the social media footprint of former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and former Godfathers Pizza CEO Herman Cain. Cain leads Romney in overall value of his Twitter account, $20,075 to $19,501. While Romney has a slight lead over Cain in followers, Cains account tweets more than three times as frequently, creating more constant communication with his followers. Cain has the fastest growing Twitter account of all the candidates, and if current trends continue will pass Romney in followers by the end of November. Cains prolific tweeting makes his account more valuable than Romneys, said Wyeth Ruthven, a senior director at Qorvis Communications and author of the Twitter Valuation Analysis. The fact that Ron Paul has eclipsed Rick Perry and Rich Santorum has surpassed Michelle Bachmann is further indication that those campaigns have lost momentum.
