A few months ago, Barack Obama was basically the only candidate on the Internet--In terms of Google trends, anyway--but all that is changing. Due to excitement around the Republican National Convention and the surprise announcement of dark horse vice presidential candidate Sarah Pallin, the web is paying a lot of attention to McCain. Traffic to McCain's site has sky-rocketed recently.
Of course, neither Obama nor McCain is gaining as much internet attention as Sarah Palin, Republican Vice Presidential nominee. Check out the spike in this graph of google searches:
I believe this spike can be explained by two factors: 1) When Palin was announced as the VP candidate, the internet was immediately like "Who??" and checked her website. 2) Once the initial reaction wore off, the internet was immediately like, "Hmm...she's kind of hot. I wonder if there are any nude pictures of her?" and checked her website again.

Your right, she is pretty hot.
If you read the blogs, they've found more than their share.
If you believe everything you read on the internet, then you're an idiot.
How is it that a first-term senator who had prior experience as a community activist is somehow qualified to run our country, but a first-term governor with prior mayoral experience (however small) is somehow less qualified to be the second-in-command of our nation? I just think that it's ridiculous that the VP nominees face more scrutiny than the Presidential nominees.
Being a community activist apparently makes a candidate far more prestigious and worthy to run the country, a55clown. Go ahead, drink the Democratic kool-aid. Believe that "real change" will happen with Obama. Your flip-flops will be in the mail.
Keep it up bud.
...Thats the word on the street anyway.
or
*mayor of a tiny village 10 miles outside of the north pole.
hmm...
were you trying to compare their stats or something? i don't understand :\
Senator for less than 2 years..out of the 2 years has shown up for fewer votes than any senator...racist church...his wife hates whites *read her papers from princeton that were published*...wants to take my money and give it to ppl who don't have as much as me...never practiced law...
other side:
working mother, ran a town...then a state...which is alot different than being a senator...namely you have to be in the state to serve it. Not fly all over the place collecting a check for a job you don't attend trying to get a new job. How's the kool-aid?
Sarah Palin is smokin'! I'm all for meeting Palin and Munn and having myself a MunnPalin sandwich, if you know what I mean!
McCain wins- we're so, so, so screwed. As a nation- but even more as a world.
I have yet to meet an intelligent, compassionate, informed Warpublican in my life... it's amazing to me the level of aggressiveness and selfishness within that party. Just look at the words of Rush Limberger and Mann Coulter, who makes Adolf Hitler look like a great guy.
But more than that, the absolute warped vision of reality they hold. It just doesn't come close to the truth of what is going on in the world. They are SO out of touch it's mind-boggling to those of us with high IQ's and wisdom.
The Democrats have had plenty of time to order a troop removal (the President has the final say in military orders, but unless Congress authorizes military involvement the most any President can do is mobilize the Marines for 90 days) and perform all these magical changes that Obama's been spouting...yet absolutely nothing has come from it.
Yeah...hope & change my ass.
And since like most videogame forums this space will be filled with ignorant, uninformed hate I'm outta here.
As to making up names? I'm confused- I do hear 5-15 minutes of Rush Limberger every day, and he has never failed to make up a name for every Democrat he encounters.
As to Tasomo's flawed logic, would you care to explain how the Democratic controlled congress is able to pass any legislation when they don't control enough of a majority to override the constant stream of Presidential vetoes from stopping them?
McCain now says he's for change. Only if he means he's going to flip-flop. 95% the same as Bush, how is that change? The Dems have only had a small majority in congress for the last 2 years, too small a majority to actually pass any decent laws without Bush getting out his veto pen over and over again.
Here's a good show of the Republican hypocracy:
http://thebruceblog.wordpres s.com/2008/09/04/video-daily-s how-nails-palin-with-rove-and- oreilly-talking-points-hysteri cal/
It's been nothing but mild talk and hiding with the occasional person peeking his head out to say something.
The Republicans had no trouble getting their act in gear when they wanted to impeach Clinton and they couldn't overturn his veto either...yet for all the crap being talked by the Congressmen and Senators, no one has the balls to actually do something about it.
As for making up names and you being so innocent, I just adore the total hypocrisy of you calling everyone who is a Republican or doesn't believe Obama is the damned Messiah a "Warpublican".
What's up bro? Excellent rebuttal to staychisel if do say so myself. And then there's Druidblue, who has no job but spends time complaining how he isn't working, instead of getting off his lazy a55 and finding a job. Apparently Obama has work lined up for him if he takes office, unless he's white.
@cornixt
The Obama campaign is the definition of "flip-flop.
obama may help the economy but if were are attacked obama will panic, because he wont know what to do. then we will be scrwed.
o yeah i was sarcastic about him and the economy. raise taxes???? screw that
Palin: The first VPILF.
Are you a retard? You do realize that the current unemployment spike is related to the increase in minimum wage pushed through by the Dem congress right? It's called a price floor. Look up the term or take an economics class. I took more than my share while earning my degree. Also it's called 'War Powers Act'. Look that up as well. Congress hasn't done a thing.
@cornxit
See above and see what they have and haven't done.
@Tbone
I fear for my way of life if ppl who have nothing believe in hope and change to take my hard earned money and make me equal to someone who won't work.
The income tax you pay as a citizen is far less of a % than any company pays.
Tax Fortune 500 companies? Uhm, here's a news flash: corporations pay taxes twice by their very nature of being incorporated bodies.
I'm seeing a rather disturbing correlation between the uneducated and Obama supporters.
