Last spring, I counted mentions of the candidates in major media and saw Obama getting disproportionate attention. Was that news judgment or an agenda? Today, we can track media mentions via Google Trends and Daylife (a startup I advise), where I see Clinton generally ahead.</P><P></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/jan/21/usa.uselections2008?gusrc=rss&feed=media">Searches: Google Trends lets us snoop on the number of searches on words. Clinton was ahead, but since Obama's victory in Iowa, he took the lead. Is that an indicator of support or merely curiosity?</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/jan/21/usa.uselections2008?gusrc=rss&feed=media">YouTube: Video traffic is a similarly skewed but still informative measure of supporters' rabidity. The small but passionate band behind libertarian candidate Ron Paul in the Republican race has played YouTube brilliantly, making him No 1 with 10.5m views v 9.5m for Obama and 4.6m for Clinton.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/796070D1-55E0-4FFE-8ECE-EE60E32AD190/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
