Man vs Woman for Superpower Control



Tomorrow I leave for my first trip to Washington D.C. so naturally my thoughts swing toward our beloved public servants who give up their careers and lives and families to serve our best interests. It's either that or think of the constant mudslinging and scandal and bribery and all the other time-honored greed that our nation's capital harbors.

OK, enough of the opinion column. We're about web searching here. And when it comes to politicians, few have the name power of Hillary Clinton. But as any politico knows, Barack Obama is hot on her heels to take the reigns of the Democratic party.

So we go way past the wondering and guessing and go for some facts here. And what we find is interesting. In the searching world, this is an extremely tight race. They trade spikes of interest, but overall this is one the exit polls just can't decide. Could it be we'll have to count chads to get this winner?

One interesting finding is the top line of public web searches have Hillary slightly ahead, but the lower line of news references has Barack slightly ahead. With everyone questioning the media these days, are they trying to make this more of a race? With one as tight as this, anything to make it more interesting is fine by me.
