Nielsen: Dean Beats Hillary, Bush

Howard Dean has won praise for being the first presidential contender ever to tap into the power of the World Wide Web.

We’ve done a little research and found that his presence on the Internet is even stronger than you probably imagined.

He’s even clobbering Hillary and well ahead of President Bush’s well-marketed Web site.

According to the Nielsen/Net Ratings, the Dean campaign’s Web site had a unique audience of 688,000 in August, more than all the other candidates combined, even with President Bush included.

When Hillary’s friendsofhillary.com launched this summer to great hype, we figured it was another indication of her plan to run for president.

But her dismal ratings may show that support for Hillary is not what the liberal media are telling us it is.

Here's how the presidential race stacks up by the total number of monthly unique visitors measured by Nielsen/Net Ratings during August:

1)688,000 Dean: deanforamerica.com

2)236,000 Bush: georgewbush.com
