Five Days of Data
How are the presidential candidates faring as far as certain online searches about them? Looking at Obama and Hillary there are some interesting observations. On January 15 three times more people searched for Obama than Hillary in our online experiment. We are making an assumption that the most serious supporters will be those who click on a link to view candidate hats. On Feb 15th three times more people clicked on a Hillary link than on Obama's link.
Scanning the period Feb 13-15 this is what I see: Nearly six times more people were interested in Obama than Hillary by search count. BUT more people followed a link to her hats than to his. What can be concluded? As this week has progressed there is a growing interest in Hillary and more of her supporters -- as evidenced in their clicking on a link to see caps -- are seriously interested in her candidacy.
There is little interest in Gore, Richardson or Rudy in my unscientific survey. Twice as many people showed interest in McCain as did in Romney during Feb 11-15. But not a single McCain searcher clicked to see his hats. Does that mean they are not very serious and would not wear a McCain cap? There were a handful of individuals ready to click on the link to Romney hats.
The percentage of people who click on the link to hats compared to the number of people who see the ads with link to hats is called the "click thru rate." During Feb 11-15 Hillary's click thru rate was four times that of Obama. On Feb 11 they had about the same click thru rate, on the 12th she was double him, on the 13th she was ten times him! Her click thru rate the next two days was between 6 to 8 times his. So she is clearly picking up interested followers.

24 Hours and Counting
One of the incredible things about online advertising is that the results are tracked and easy to see. Now, about my ads for the candidates ... they are a kind of unofficial poll I am studying.
It has now been 24 hours of my identical advertising for seven potential and actual candidates for president. I know how many people showed interest in each of them by the search words they used. I also know how many people were interested enough to click on an ad about my web page of hats for that candidate.
The only two candidates with any followers showing interest are, of course, Obama and Hillary. And Obama is showing 13 times more search activity than Hillary!!
If the more serious followers are the ones clicking to see a web page of hats, then Obama is the only candidate with any serious followers this past 24 hours. And if the best followers buy a hat, then all the candidates are equal with no followers quite that dedicated.
This is so interesting Stay tuned for more.

Grab Your Candidate's Hat!
Jump on the bandwagon of your candidate and make yourself a billboard suggesting that person as the next president.
Here's what I did to make it easy. I sorted through hundreds of popular cap designs for Obama, Hillary, McCain, Rudy, Romney, Richardson, Al Gore and even Mr. Cheney. I selected the best of those designs, none made by me, and made them available online for you to easily view and purchase. If you purchase one a small commission comes my way. I also pay to advertise these selections of caps promoting possible presidents.
It is one way to generate interest in the race. One way to focus the national debate on the qualities we need in a leader and to hold the various candidates up to scrutiny.
Grab a hat today and help promote interest in our election!

Who Do You Like?
Who Do You Like?
Who would you want to see as the next president? Do you have an opinion yet? Do you want to help encourage the young, the old, the poor, the forgotten middle class to vote?
We suggest you grab yourself a cap with your choice of candidate and use that as a way to promote political discussion. We have to work to get people involved and to find the right person to lead our country out of the mess it is in.
I really do believe presidential candidates should be discussed and questioned. In the last presidential election it was rather shocking to see hardly any bumper stickers promoting either candidate. We didn't give a collective care it seemed and we got perhaps what we deserved.

Getting off the Ground
Ok, so here we are with another blog (sigh!). Will it differ from others, sure. Will it have an ulterior motive, yes! I've been around enough decades to have sharp opinions and perhaps less-than-pc observations. So here we go with a presidential election!
Who is leading the pack today? Who do I like? Um, none of the above. There is no perfect candidate, of course. But first you have to know that I am turned off by the overly smily types. Yes, that is you Obama. Those who were born to entitled lives are also off my list, so forget about Romney, as if someone from Massachusetts could be taken seriously! (I know, I was born on Beacon Hill in Boston!)
Is Hillary inevitable? Well she is if the presidency can be bought. Wasn't that what happened in recent memory?? Will they have to shuffle Bill off to another existence to make Hillary win the final push?
When the final candidates appear on the ballot, there is little chance my insignificant vote will go to a representative of the Republican party. That much is clear. There was a time when McCain's persona was free and vibrant and wonderful. Now he seems to waver between odd positions and obedience to party. Chuck Hagel intrigues me, however! He communicates an honesty that has little care for pol-y-ticks as a beauty and smiling contest.
Is Bill Richardson the stealth candidate who will walk away with the prize? He has the background. I like Bill Richardson but he is not very visible on national TV. Then there is Rudy! Bigger than life! Everyone knows about him.
