Alongside South Carolina, the War of the Professions With Clinton Vs. Obama

Posted In: politicians

Now that we’re at the hour of the South Carolina Democratic Party primary, Obama supporters and Clinton supporters have seen their candidates kick it into high gear to try to kick each other out of the top spot and claim the prize of momentum. On each side, there has been a proliferation of different voices, claiming its own strength as a constituency for each candidate.

So we have started to see members of different professions come out in favor of Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. This is being expressed in terms of bumper stickers.

For example, there is a Cab Drivers for Clinton bumper sticker, but on the other hand, there is an Artists for Obama bumper sticker. Which one one matters more? Which is the bigger constituency?

We can look to Google for the answer. A quick Google search can tell us which profession has the greater strength, at least in terms of online searches.

Let’s try “Cab Drivers” vs. “Artists”, as an example. Who’s got more Google mojo?

Cab Drivers: 533,000 results.
Artists: 494,000,000 results.

Whoah! Who would have expected such a difference? Artists kick cab drivers’ butts! Well, online they do.

Artists for Obama clearly is a force to be reckoned with more than Cab Drivers for Clinton.

Word to the wise, though… although there once was an Artists for Obama web site, it has now gone offline - just web host placeholder site. Whatever could that mean?

There never has been a Cab Drivers for Clinton web site. Opportunity, checkered ones.
