While other campaign weenies examine the entrails from the Ames Straw Poll, Pun Salad brings you its continuing coverage of the only poll that matters, the Google Phony Poll. Today's standings and 3-day trend:
| Query String | Hit Count | Change Since 8/9 |
|---|---|---|
| "John Edwards" phony | 434,000 | +25,000 |
| "Hillary Clinton" phony | 377,000 | +1,000 |
| "John McCain" phony | 297,000 | +16,000 |
| "Barack Obama" phony | 269,000 | +9,000 |
| "Ron Paul" phony | 267,000 | +27,000 |
| "Mitt Romney" phony | 224,000 | +13,000 |
| "Fred Thompson" phony | 199,000 | +10,000 |
| "Rudy Giuliani" phony | 183,000 | +20,000 |
| "Dennis Kucinich" phony | 122,000 | +6,000 |
| "Dave Burge" phony | 55 | +6 |
Sober-minded analysis:
- Edwards' lead seems very safe. Is the race his to lose?
- Has Clinton's phoniness stagnated? Troubling,
if true! But her hold on
second place seems secure for now.
- Paul is threatening Obama's fourth place position. If today's
George Will column is any indication, however, Obama should
"arugulably" be getting a boost over the next few days.
-
Yes, that was a pun. Sorry.
-
Burge had a huge percentage
increase in hits! Unfortunately, a lot of that
is due to Pun Salad. Sorry, Dave.
