A few months ago, Barack Obama was basically the only candidate on the Internet--In terms of Google trends, anyway--but all that is changing. Due to excitement around the Republican National Convention and the surprise announcement of dark horse vice presidential candidate Sarah Pallin, the web is paying a lot of attention to McCain. Traffic to McCain's site has sky-rocketed recently.

Of course, neither Obama nor McCain is gaining as much internet attention as Sarah Palin, Republican Vice Presidential nominee. Check out the spike in this graph of google searches:

Hurricane Sarah, I presume.

dark horse vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin

Tell you what... should Obama fall behind significantly, you'd better not be caught dead calling him the dark horse.

I would never insult a dark horse by associating it with a communist.

'DAY AFTER'

- DUmmies having quite a hangover this morning after the Nuetron Sarah Explosion:

-"Help! I'm a cable news addict going cold turkey."

-"Ughh, my yahoo homepage says Palin more popular than Obama"

-"I couldn't believe this when I read it. "

Actually, I google image searched after a friend said she was hot. Then a few days later she gave her speech and I have to admit, I was not sure about voting for either side, but I will vote for Palin.

I still don't have "Barack" or "Obama" in my spell checker.

Hoping to keep it that way.

Would never dream of it. Obama is just a rookie Communist agitator, it's Joe Biden who is the southbound end of a northbound horse.

I take it by the omission that Biden’s trend line is so low as to not even appear on the chart?
