The Phony Campaign

2007-08-27 Update

It's been five days, so let's check in with the phony Google hits for the major contenders …

Query StringHit CountChange
Since 8/22
"Hillary Clinton" phony278,000-48,000
"John McCain" phony207,000-55,000
"John Edwards" phony207,000-47,000
"Barack Obama" phony193,000-38,000
"Ron Paul" phony190,000-34,000
"Mitt Romney" phony150,000-43,000

"Fred Thompson" phony128,000-34,000
"Dennis Kucinich" phony84,800-18,200
"Dave Burge" phony54-3

Everyone continues to leak phoniness hits; what's going on? But Edwards managed to leak a little slower than McCain, so he's wangled a tie for second place. Guiliani leapfrogged Fred Thompson into seventh. Hillary, of course, remains in a solid lead position.
