Obama and Huckabee Capture New Hampshire Web Visits

January 07, 2008

Last week our very own Heather Hopkins posted this data on the upcoming Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire Primary. By narrowing our data down to the state holding the primary, we can see which candidate's website is the most visited in each state. When Heather posted her table prior to the Iowa Caucus, she listed Barack Obama and Ron Paul as receiving the most visits from Iowa Internet users. If we factor Ron Paul's Internet sensation out of the equation, she had Huckabee with the next most visits for a Republican candidate.

Given how close Heather's table was to the outcome in Iowa, I've decided to update the New Hampshire data factoring this last week.

The big change when comparing this week's chart with last is how far Huckabee has risen, to now overtake John McCain as the Republican candidate with the most visits from New Hampshire residents. Noticeably missing from the Republican side are Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson.

While Huckabee's rise this week may be a result of curiosity given his win in Iowa, it will be interesting to see how closely Tuesday's New Hampshire results map to Internet visits.

Don't be fooled by Romney. He wants to buy Americans, not earn their respect. Romney will say anything to get elected and change his mind over and over again. Romney can't balance a budget. Just look at how much he lost in Iowa of his own base's hard earned money flushed down the toliet. He got hammered in Iowa after millions and milions of dollars of negative TV ads.

On the other hand, Huckabee's likeability, his honesty, his optimism, his humbleness, his trustworthiness are all character traits that define him.

American voters are thrilled to have a presidential candidate who not only has experience on running a government, but also someone who has integrity and charm.

That's why Huckabee is skyrocking in the polls and now taking over # 1 position in the nation. Everybody can feel the energy when Huckabee talks, they feel at ease when he speaks with them.

Huckabee is like no other candidate in the last 100 years. His charm, his down to earth speak, his witty style makes people feel good about themselves in side. Someone they want to hang around with and chat wtih.

Huckabee is going to revolutionize America with his optimism for all not just a selected group. Huckabee appeals to all types of groups. He is going to lead this nation up to higher ground creating a new America spirit to be born.

This is a great time to be an American!
