Saving a Presidential Nomination in the 21 Century: It's not happening online
Hilary Clinton has to do something to counter the momentum of the Obama campaign, but all signs online show that its just not happening.
Although Clinton’s cohorts have tried to rally in support, reportedly providing the campaign with $15 million online in the first 15 days of February, Clinton’s overall online donations pale in comparison to Barack Obama’s. And it's not just money; Hilary seems to be falling short everywhere online these days - from the obvious to the obscure:
YouTube’s YouChoose08 has been a consistent indicator of online supporters for candidates. Obama is beating Hillary 3 to 1. Barack Obama has 29,411 subscribers and 688 videos on his YouTube channel while Hillary only has 10, 401 subscribers and 264 views.
At www.cafepress.com, a website which allows anyone to create and sell t-shirts and other items, Obama-related sales now account for 69% of all presidential-candidate sales; Clinton items are only pulling in a meek 14%. With only 12 days remaining until the Texas, Ohio, and Rhode Island, and Vermont primaries, Clinton needs to change her plan of attack.
