Today we are looking at John McCain, Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani as candidates for the 2008 presidential election. How are they doing on my "internet interest" meter? Over a period of nearly two weeks, far more people have searched for information about John McCain than the others. Few have appeared to be interested in Rudy if interest means searching online for information..
But, we can't leave it on that simplistic note. We assume that people who search for information on these candidates and who are VERY interested in them will show that interest by clicking on a link to caps for the candidate. Not a single McCain person did that! Yet three percent of Rudy's people clicked on the cap link! Mitt Romney is again in the middle.
Does Rudy have fewer but more committed followers? Does McCain have a wider audience of only mildly interested supporters? It is interesting to watch the smoke signals.
