The MHP Show won the races for most mentions during an hour as well as total mentions during the day.  Your money is still suffering the loss of Ali Veshi last month, as in times past it got a lot more social media action.  Hopefully they’ll regain their footing over time.

As has become the trend lately, The Ed Show has the most tweets during its showing while Piers Morgan gets the most tweets throughout the day.  Somewhat unusual, though, is that Chris Matthews’ Hardball managed to rack up a large number of tweets today during its showing.

Yesterday Piers Morgan cooled down a bit from the run he’s been on, but still managed to be the Most Mentioned Host on Cable News.  Ed Schultz managed to take the prize for most tweets during a show, which is not surprising given how tightly The Ed Show integrates social media.

In terms of over all daily tweets, Piers Morgan seems to still be the champ.  The man knows how to spark a debate.
