The Democratic and Republican governors associations are engaging in a war of "likes" and "dislikes" on Facebook Thursday afternoon over Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Zuckerberg announced Thursday that he would host a political fundraiser, for the first time in his own home, for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Feb. 13. The fundraiser will support Christie's reelection as governor.
The Democratic Governors Association (DGA) is using Facebook to show its "dislike" of the move by the social network's founder, posting a thumbs-down graphic with the news and inviting supporters to sign a petition to call on Zuckerberg to cancel his fundraiser for Christie.The Republican Governors Association (RGA) is promoting the news as well, in a post that urges supporters to use the thumbs-up button. "This definitely deserves a lot of LIKES!" the RGA wrote.
The RGA also sent a barbed tweet at its Democratic counterpart making a pointed comment about the number of states currently represented by Democratic governors.
We're not surprised to see @demgovs more concerned with Zuckerberg than winning governors races. It's why they only have 19 out of 50 govs.

In a statement, a spokeswoman for Facebook said Mark and Priscilla Zuckerberg "admire [Christie's] leadership on education reform and other issues."
