SuperTuesday Analysis - The Democrats Web Battle |

SuperTuesday Analysis - The Democrats Web Battle Google Trend & Web Hits Reports
Mr. Barack Obama vs. Mrs. Hillary Clinton
As we have seen in past articles about the use of the internet for researching and perhaps picking a candidate to run for president, it has merit in giving us a snap-shot of what is happening. What is amazing, is that Obama's surge on Google hits is coming down a bit and overall Clinton may have the edge in many of the key states- yet what effect will Sen. Kennedy's support for Barack bring and can Bill pull it together for Hillary? I would keep an eye on the below Google Trend reports as well as the hits on their web sites (the hits can be key).

On http://www.alexa.com you can get an even more up-to-date chart, which shows Obama has taken a commanding lead in web site hits, which they are sustaining.

THE JOHN EDWARDS FACTOR Although Mr. John Edwards is likely not to win any primaries, his influence will none-the-less be felt. He is predicted to get good percentages in just about any given state. And as we can see, when we add him into the Google Trends Report, he gets a decent amount of attention:
Google Searches - The Edwards Factor
His factor will come into many possibilities. Will some who would have voted for him in a primary coming up in Super Tuesday "switch" to either Hillary or Barack to help ensure their "second" choice? And finally, if Edwards would drop out, who would he endorse? John Edwards fills an amazing number of votes and his impact may be the deciding factor. I argue that his *staying* in the race, helps Barack Obama.
Super Tuesday, here we come! It is exciting, to say the least. Stay tuned to this page for updates and more web data as it becomes available.
