I can't emphasize enough how interesting and relevant the compete.com blog that Meg wrote about earlier really is. A recent post compares Obama and Clinton's web "face time" for the month of March. In cyberspace, Obama has clobbered Clinton. Obama's wikipedia page had 4 times the number of readers as Clinton's. YouTube viewers spent 10 times as much time on Obama's channel as Clintons. And what does this translate to in the physical world? Obama out-fundraised Clinton 2-1 in March.
The Pennsylvania primary will be a very intriguing test as to whether internet time translates into votes. Out of all Pennsylvania residents who have visited Democratic candidates' websites, 65% visited Obama's site while 35% visited Clinton's site. Will this make a difference on April 22? We'll find out soon enough.
