Ok, just for the hell of it I thought I plug into Alexa the websites of some presidential hopefuls to see their popularity and traffic trends. I compared the following: Ron Paul Rudy Giuliani Mitt Romney Barack Obama Hillary Clinton The ranking results were pretty amazing to me and telling as to the popularity of each of these candidates as far as Alexa ranking goes. To see the trend follow this link to see for yourself. Ron Paul website dwarfs the other candidates in terms of traffic combined!!! http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/ronpaul2008.com?site0=ronpaul2008.com&site1=joinrudy2008.com&site2=barackobama.com&site3=hillaryclinton.com&site4=mittromney.com&y=r&z=3&h=300&w=610&range=6m&size=Medium Larger Chart http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/ronpaul2008.com?site0=ronpaul2008.com&site1=joinrudy2008.com&site2=barackobama.com&site3=hillaryclinton.com&site4=mittromney.com&y=r&z=3&h=400&w=700&range=6m&size=Large 1 YR View http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/ronpaul2008.com?site0=ronpaul2008.com&site1=joinrudy2008.com&site2=barackobama.com&site3=hillaryclinton.com&site4=mittromney.com&y=r&z=3&h=400&w=700&range=1y&size=Large
You see a similar disparity if you look at search activity on Google Trends. click here. It's clear that Ron Paul is the choice of people who are actually really interested in politics and are you know, paying attention. Unfortunately my concern is that most Americans get their news from Dancing with the Stars.
Agreed. I mean aren't these statistics an indicator of the interest generated by the free willing public? Can anyone deny or dispute these FACTS as myths or conspiracy?
