Google's Zeitgeist: The Hottest Cultural List Around
Posted December 14th, 2007 by Michael Nystrom
From a feature article on CNBC.com:
This year's list, released today, details some surprising results. Quick, name the most popular presidential candidate based on who users were searching for: Hillary Clinton? Rudy Guiliani? Nope. The outspoken, quirky Ron Paul beat out all other candidates.
Mayer tells me, in our exclusive interview, that, "Ron Paul had a huge up-swell in terms of online interest. He had the largest fundraising day online ever. I think people are wondering who he is and what he stands for and it gives them interest in searching for him." Of course, his results are probably helped by the fact that conventional media tends to dwell only on the front-runners, spurring voters to search for information on their own. And that's where Google comes in.

People sick and tired of politics as usual
People are sick-and-tired of the same old song-and-dance from their presidents and their candidates. See this YouTube music video political satire, from the new award-winning feature film, "Song of the Dead." It pokes fun at the president, the MSM, and the war on terror. The filmmaker is giving a share of his profits to the Ron Paul campaign:

CNBC Financial correspondents
seem to be disconnected from the CNBC political correspondents (Kudlow aside).
They were pretty objective about it.
Of course, I think the Google VP (Mayer) didn't mind that "Google Ron Paul" is going on the blimp (my speculation).

According to Huffington Post, among Googlers giving to Republicans:
Ron Paul - $14,975

Mike Huckleberry - $0
Mitt Romney - $0
LOL
I love how this fact gets so much play between us. I wonder what place he is in on all terms Googled.
Speaking of Googling and Zeitgeist, everyone should Google "Zeitgeist - Complete" and go to videos and watch it :).
