Who Does The Internet Want To See As President?

We all have our opinion on who we want to see as the next US President, but who is the candidate that the internet is picking to be President?

It looks like Obama is topping the internet popularity contests at the moment with Hilary Clinton hot on his heels. Next up is Ron Paul who, to be honest has become an internet legend, gaining support from internet surfers across the world due to his position that the internet should not be regulated and immediate withdrawal from Iraq.

Fred Thompson and Mitt Romney came next followed by John Edwards.

What I found interesting was that the most searched for term in relation to Hilary Clinton was “cleavage”. Not saying that everyone isn’t taking Clinton seriously as a Presidential candidate or anything but other candidate were getting things like tax and “Iraq war” although Obama did get “anti-Christ” as a related search.

Who do you think the most popular candidate on the interest is?

For me its gotta be Ron Paul all the way.

    Yup. Ron Paul. I am pushing hard for him to win but even if he doesn’t I think the Revolution will rage on. If he passes the freedom baton down the road, I’d gladly run with it. I think most of his supporters would do the same.

    It is not just those two legit point for Dr. Paul. It is his message of free markets, decreased centralized federal government control, the upholding of the US Constitution above all else, a noninterventionalist Jeffersonian foreign policy. He is a learned man, a true statesman in a den of thieves. That is why, and he is not CFR.

    Not sure if you are totally correct about Obama, and definately Hillary, being ahead of Ron Paul on the internet.

    I think Ron Paul is now beating them both. However, Ron Paul is no longer just your father’s internet candidate anymore.

    Congressman Ron Paul has finished in the top 5 in 17 of the last 18 live event straw polls and can claim 1st place victories in New Hampshire, North Carolina, Washington, and Alabama.

    In comparing results head-to-head, Congressman Paul has blown away most of the field, defeating Rudy Giuliani in 16 of the 18 polls and John McCain in 16 of the 17 polls.

    In addition, Ron Paul’s campaign events are drawing much larger crowds than any Republican and even Hillary. Only Obama has crowds as big as Ron Paul’s.

    Take a look at the results of the Spartan Internet Political Performance index. It’s showing exactly what the author of this article is talking about. http://spartaninternet.com/2008/byParty.asp?tab=2

    Robert_2008,

    There is a problem with the spartaninternet.com index. Its not purely how people are interacting on the web, or site hits or search hits. It also takes into consideration “News Stories”. Everyone knows the mainstream media has hundred of stories on Hillary, Obama, Guiliani and Romney. So mainstream stories of course show up on the web, but they did not start there. They started at the New York Times, Washington Post, AP etc. Ron Paul has little of this type of media attention. His stuff comes from WEB based news organizations.

    Take out mainstream news stories that show up on the net
    mentioning (Hillary, Obama, Romney etc), and use only web based news pieces as the criteria and you will see Ron Paul crushes all other contenders, Republican or Democrat.

    The real question is how does a mainstream news story on the internet equate who the internet wants to see for President. Answer it doesn’t and therefor should not be included. News stories have nothing to do with who the people want for President on the net, or off.
