Through the final months of the race for the White House, Barack Obama continued to dominate his opposition, John McCain.

When Obama took Iowa in the Democratic caucus he had the most friends on Facebook and MySpace, while at the same time had more YouTube views than any other presidential candidate.

In the immortal words of Jay-Z, Men and women lie, numbers don't!

During the final race, Obama had more than 103 million Youtube video views while McCain had a little over 25 million, according to TechPresident.com which tracks Youtube views of presidential candidates. (http://www.techpresident.com/youtube)

When it came down to Meet-ups (where meetup.com members can use the site to organize and form offline groups and communities in support of their particular candidate) Barack Obama had 14,504, while John McCain has only 1,772. Interestingly enough, Bob Barr had 9,060. (http://www.techpresident.com/scrape_plot/meetup_supporter)

When it came to Facebook supporters, Obama had 2,600,385 Million, while McCain had 623,141. (http://www.techpresident.com/scrape_plot/facebook)

When it came to MySpace ...
... friends, Obama had 865,162 while McCain only had 224,174.

When it came down to Blogs mentioning the presidential candidates, Obama once again triumphed with 29,793 - while McCain lagged far behind with 7,718. (http://www.techpresident.com/scrape_plot/technorati)

Eventful demand from Eventful.com, where grassroots supporters request or demand a candidate come to their event. Obama had 141,065 requests and McCain was nowhere to be seen. (http://www.techpresident.com/scrape_plot/eventful)

When comparing front-runner web traffic site-by-site, Obama at 66% leads McCain with 35%. There is a 1% overlap. (http://www.techpresident.com/scrape_plot/hitwise)

When comparing weekly web traffic, Obama had 3,031,727 and led McCain's 1,346,929. (http://www.techpresident.com/scrape_plot/compete)

When it came down to Google ranking using Google Insight and the candidate's name, Google ranked Obama 83 out of 100 for being searched for, while McCain came in at 53 out of 100.

It if were to come down to next generation internet technology, traffic, and engaging the voter, Barack Obama would have won hands down. Luckily for McCain there are still some of his supporters knocking on doors, holding town hall meetings, and using air quotes.
