No one thing dominated the conversation on Monday, although Brian Evens’ run for US Senate in Hawaii seems to be making a big splash.
The Nigerian schoolgirls nudged out Benghazi for the second-most trending topic on Sunday, while Obama, fresh off the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, was in first.

The dominant topic in Cable News on Saturday was the White House Correspondents Dinner, which was covered live on several networks. It was sufficiently popular of a topic that it pushed Fox News’ All Benghazi, All The Time coverage to second place.
It’s Benghazi, dude, as the top cable news topic on Twitter, Friday. Looks like Fox is going to milk this one for all it’s worth…
