It's interesting to watch the campaigning done on Google. So far, it seems Clark (or perhaps his supporters) have embraced Google the most. A query for "Clark" yields a sponsored link at the top, no other candidates do this, not even Bush, additionally, there is a sponsored link on the right for Clark when you search for Gephardt and the link for Gephardt is a generic link for someone selling democratic campaign supplies for all candidates. Searching for Kucinich yields some more generic links not necessarily dedicated to Kucinich, which i find unfortunate, since he needs more attention, even if he has no chance of winning. Kerry yields nothing, not a damn thing, except the typical google search results. Sharpton has the most sponsored links, appropriately, for satire and such. Lieberman has nothing either.

Bush has nothing, but then again, why would he? Historically, he's shown that you don't need support from a majority to be elected President, and being the incumbent works to his advantage. Kind of makes me wonder why this already rich white illiterate drug-addicted draft-dodging warmongering liar needs so much money for his campaign this time? could it be because he's fucked up so badly that he needs to buy his way into the white house again?

Anyways, I hadn't intended on turning this into yet another Bush criticism, but it's hard not to do when i get on the subject.
