Democratic Candidates for President

As I mentioned in my last blog post, the traction that candidates get online, don't always follow when it comes to make a choice at the ballot box. But, in the case of the Democrats, there is a clear alignment. The 3 leading candidates all have ranks well within the Alexa Top 100,000 sites, while the rest, all fall well outside that mark.

Candidate - Alexa Traffic Rank
1) Barack Obama - 22,238
2) Hillary Clinton - 23,621
3) John Edwards - 70,410
4) Mike Gravel - 164,042
5) Dennis Kucinich - 207,544
6) Bill Richardson - 210,239
7) Joe Biden - 216,111
8) Christopher Dodd - 249,972

The only real surprise here is that Richardson, Biden and Dodd, have zero traction online. Gravel and Kucinich, who are often ignored by the media, actually get more online users.

I just heard that Fred Thompson threw his hat into the ring. His site is supposed to launch some time next week. It will be interesting to see if he garners any online support. Stay tuned.
