In a status update posted yesterday, Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan uses Facebook to thank his supporters for helping him grow his Facebook Page, which almost has 2 million followers. Using the application Tout, Ryan recored a short video that not only thanked his supporters, but updated them on the campaign and Convention.

As reported by IVN, Paul Ryan has had incredible success garnering support on social networks, and with almost six times as many Facebook likes as Vice President Joe Biden, he has proven himself as a socially-savvy politician. The use of a video status update to thank his followers further proves his understanding of the social network.

As tracked by Facebook & CNN Elections Insights, Paul Ryan was the most talked about politician after the announcement of his selection as Romney's VP candidate.
