I consume most of my content via the nets. Clinton and Obama (the two major contenders are all that matters now really) are both in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rssowl.org\/\">my feed aggregator<\/a>. I get their Flickr feeds and watch their YouTube videos.<\/p>\n<p>but like I say, Clinton hasn&#8217;t updated her Flickr in nearly 10 days.<\/p>\n<p>so I&#8217;m going to make a prediction here: the contender with the most content WINS. simple.<\/p>\n<p>no political insight, no analysis, no &#8220;deep&#8221; dialogue here folks. the MOST content WINS.<\/p>\n<p>here are the current stats:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Hillary Clinton<br \/>\nYouTube videos: 223<br \/>\nFlickr photos: 3,081<br \/>\nfacebook supporters: 82,139<br \/>\nmyspace friends: 169,914<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>Barack Obama<br \/>\nYouTube videos: 523<br \/>\nFlickr photos: 14,032<br \/>\nfacebook supporters: 285,634<br \/>\nmyspace friends: 238,459<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>per my analysis my decision is obvious. but this is <em>only<\/em> a prediction!<\/p>\n<p>(I will commend Clinton&#8217;s website designers though. they make the links to her external media very big, colorful and obvious, albeit at the bottom. Obama&#8217;s links are on the sidebar, way down, small and greyed out, not so easy to find.
