Just kidding, of course. But her web site is clearly the most popular of the candidates for president.
If you take a gander at the graph here, I've used Alexa to track the relative popularity of the three leading democrat(ic) candidates' web sites. Hillary clearly has had the most visitors to her site of any candidate (blue line), particularly on the 21st of January, when she posted a video announcing her candidacy. She nearly doubled the number of visitors that had visited Barack Obama's site (for the same reason, in red) a week earlier, and more than quadrupled the visits to John Edward's site 3 weeks prior. Even today, if you look at the far right of the graph, it is clear that Hillary's site is getting quite a bit more traffic than her competitors.Now, I know what you are thinking... isn't it a little early to start tracking the candidates... and maybe even a bit annoying? Fair point. I just can't help it. It is so easy and tempting to treat this like a horse race. I promise to restrain myself in the future and will only post about the candidates occasionally until we get a little closer to election day.
There are several other democratic candidates not listed on the graph above. At this point their sites are not getting enough traffic to show up on the chart. But, to be fair, I'd like to mention their names and Web sites, sorted in order of popularity, and wish them the best of luck in becoming the leader of the free world:
Bill Richardson: richardsonforpresident.com
Dennis Kucinich: kucinich.us
Tom Vilsack: tomvilsack08.com
Joe Biden: joebidenforpresident.org
Holy cow, there's even more...
OK, that covers the asses. What about the pachyderms?
It looks like our elephants don't know how to jump. The Republican sites are just a tiny blip on the chart. Both have approximately 10% of the traffic of the third place democratic candidate, John Edwards.
Of course there are numerous other candidates that have thrown their hat into the ring, but to list them all here would be more than I could take, and probably more than you could stand. If you are really that interested, I would suggest that a) you get a hobby, or b) find the list here.
