Just to throw this out there, talking about candidate favorites and public recognition and such- for what it’s worth here are the standings for most google hits per candidate in order from highest to lowest:
John Edwards- 6,610,000
Hillary Clinton- 6,200,000
Fred Thompson- 3,610,000
Barack Obama- 2,660,000
Sam Brownback/Mitt Romney (tie)- 2,220,000
Bill Richardson- 2,180,000
John McCain- 2,120,000
Rudy Giuliani- 2,040,000
Joe Biden- 1,990,000
Dennis Kucinich- 1,970,000
Ron Paul- 1,910,000
Tom Tancredo- 1,840,000
Mike Huckabee- 1,820,000
Duncan Hunter- 1,690,000
Chris Dodd- 1,670,000
Mike Gravel- 1,620,000
List of candidates taken from the Washington Post.
Google count is of course flawed due to the potential for other people to have the same names, etc.
And now to really put things in perspective:
Paris Hilton has 18,300,000 google hits.
Britney Spears has 20,100,000 google hits.
Barry Bonds has 3,210,000 google hits.
Skitz M. Jones has exactly 69 google hits. no joke.
Bill Clinton has 12,700,000 google hits.
and George W. Bush has 44,800,000 google hits.
So you can kinda tell where the public’s interest is resting these days.
