The campaign of long-shot Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul (Twitter: RonPaul2008) has an official Twitter account now.

His less-than-100 followers pale in comparison to the audiences of Democrats Barack Obama (Twitter: BarackObama) and John Edwards (Twitter: johnedwards), who have and 5,000 and 3,600, respectively.

But Paul is known for having some seriously dedicated followers, and I wouldn't be surprised if he narrowed that gap.
