— The Situation Room (@CNNSitRoom) December 12, 2014

With this, and all the other tweets that mention him and his show, Wolf Blitzer’s mentions topped 16K for the day, a very strong showing.  Following Wolf for best day was Hannity (12K mentions) and Colbert (8.7K).

In best-hour news, Hannity won with a fairly average (for him) result.  He was followed closely by Kelly, and then more distantly by The Situation Room, Ed Show, and Morning Joe:

Amusing note … Hannity had 3,504 mentions during his broadcast hour, while Kelly had 3,503 during her hour.  I don’t think I’ve seen it closer before!
