Regular readers of this experiment will remember a few days ago we matched up the two Democratic front-runners in a battle to the death. Today we have two front-runners from the other side of the aisle.
And just as we think of these two Republicans being the opposite of the Democrats, so too we find the web traffic the opposite. If you remember (and if you don't here it is) the searching was fast and furious for our Democratic counterparts. Indeed it was back and forth with only the voters knowing the outcome.
With Republicans? Not so much. As you can see the link is almost flat, dead, until recently when some rumbling began about the possibility of Fred Thompson running. I think Rudy got a boost from that as both trends rise at roughly the same time. With Rudy already out there, and lots of buzz speculating about Fred, we see that Fred has ridden this close-to-the-vest strategy to roundly stomp Mr. Giuliani in the web search department.
Will this continue through to the end? Only you, the voter, can control that one. I think it will probably flatten out and get closer as the end nears. I think they'll all be more fun as we go.
