Which ’08 President candidate has the most friends on their MySpace page?
According to this, it’s Obama:
Democrats – # of friends
Obama – 43003
Clinton – 23428
Edwards – 11593
Vilsack – 1347
Kucinich – 1078
Richardson – 661
Biden – 510
Dodd – 172Republicans – # of friends
Paul – 2501
Romney – 1373
McCain – 1356
Tancredo – 1051
Giuliani – 637
Huckabee – 385
Brownback – 166
I don’t think this really means anything. MySpace users and readers tend to skew younger, and younger people don’t (or can’t) vote. Plus, we have a year and a half to the general election. Still, it’s indicative of a new type of campaigning, and something at which the Democrats are clearly excelling.
