Mike Huckabee for Student Body President

Not sure who you’re going to vote for in ‘08? Yeah, me neither. I’m going to stick by our rules here and keep this politically neutral- this is just too good to pass up though.

The internets come to the rescue again in service of the notion that elections are two parts popularity, one part real issues. The link below purports to track daily how many “MySpace friends” each of the Presidential candidates have.

The Democrats have the early lead and are way out ahead of the Republicans for MySpace friends. Leading the way for the Dems is Obama with almost 48,000 peeps. Hillary Clinton is in a distant second with about 25,000 (omitted biased comment) people.

First place for the Republicans is Texas Representative Ron Paul (he’s actually a Libertarian) (who I didn’t even know had formed an exploratory committee to explore the declaration to declare yet). Mr. Paul has approximately 2,800 MySpace friends. Mit Romney is in second place with just shy of 1,600 people in his circle of trust.
