Obama, Ron Paul Soar in Web Traffic Newsmax Barack Obama has surged to the lead among presidential candidates in the war of the Web — his campaign site on the Internet attracted more visitors in November than any of his Democratic or Republican rivals. Hillary Clinton has dropped to third among Democrats — and Ron Paul continues to lead all Republican candidates, with nearly twice as many visitors as his nearest GOP rival, Mike Huckabee. In October, Obama had 589,000 unique visitors to his campaign Web site, barackobama.com, but that number soared to 821,000 visitors in November, according to Nielsen NetRatings projections. Clinton, meanwhile, in November had barely more than half as many visitors as in October.
(Article continues below) In November, libertarian Republican Ron Paul’s site, ronpaul2008.com, counted 673,000 visitors, up from 451,000 in October. Though lagging in national polls, Paul has been running an aggressive Web campaign. The number of visitors to Republican John McCain’s site plunged to just 94,000 in November, down from 182,000 in October. Here are the numbers of unique visitors for each of the presidential Web sites, according to NetRatings Inc. projections. REPUBLICANS Ron Paul: 673,000 Mike Huckabee: 337,000 Mitt Romney: 229,000 Fred Thompson: 217,000 Rudy Giuliani: 106,000 John McCain: 94,000
