Minted MethodshopWhile John McCain is still learning how to use email (we’re not kidding), his U.S. Presidential competition has completely mastered the micro-blogging service Twitter. This month, American presidential candidate Barack Obama dethroned Kevin Rose from Digg.com and became the most popular person on Twitter.

Barack Obama Is Now #1 On Twitter

According to Twitterholic, a website that measures the “followers” of Twitter accounts, Barack Obama is the most followed person on Twitter and now has over 58,000 followers. Obama’s closest Twitter competitor is still Kevin Rose with 56k followers. Robert Scoble, CNN’s Breaking News account and Leo Laporte help round out the top 10.

Wait, Where’s John McCain?

Someone not in the Twitterholic top 10… John McCain. In fact, McCain isn’t even in the top 100. The only serious McCain Twitter account we found has a little over 1,000 followers. A truly pitiful showing for someone who is running for president of the United States.
