Thanks for posting and doing all that work.

I think your data are interesting, but odd.

No clear trend jumps out. Some of the strongest candidates have very low hit counts. Some of the weakest have very high counts.

And, a technical question....

When I post links in Internet Explorer 11, my only option is to post the entire web address.

How do you condense your links down to just the candidate names? That’s clearly a superior method.

It's not hit counts, it's rankings based on counts. The lower the number, the higher the ranking.

And it pretty much backs up recent polls.

For example, FreeRepublic.com is ranked 2,369 among all websites.
