Political Junkies: You Can Sleep in 2009

Patrick Ruffini, webmaster of the Bush-Cheney ‘04 campaign, has a cool new site — 2008 Presidential Wire — that vacuums up references to potential 2008 Presidential candidates in the MSM and blogosphere and indexes and sorts them in a variety of ways.

For instance, the overall most-referred to candidates are Rice, Frist, Romney, and Gingrich for the Republicans, and Clinton, Edwards, Kerry, and Clark for the Democrats. He keeps separate “Hot on Blogs” and “Big in MSM” lists and they are pretty different; it’ll be interesting to see if one is a better predictor of eventual momentum.

Interestingly, Howard Dean does not appear on any of the lists. He may be excluded since he’s nominally not in the running … or, we can hope, people have written him off.

This morning our post “Dick Cheney is to ‘Exciting’ as …” was the #5 “Hot Story” (most clicked-on), and that sent a ton of traffic our way.
