- slkuhn, on 05/30/2008, -5/+78Removing Hillary's middle name give the result of:
Obama 46.7 million
Clinton 40.6 million
Including both candidates middle names gives:
Clinton 7.45 million
Obama .66 million
I support Obama but original results are rigged to the point of insulting my intelligence. - Carv, on 05/31/2008, -3/+72Hmm...according to my calculations, "porn" wins the Democratic nomination.
By a lot. - dotlizard, on 05/30/2008, -5/+24with all this nonsense about changing the rules and counting delegates nobody has any right to count, i think it's a damn good idea to settle this thing with a good, old-fashioned google fight. browsers ready? it's on!
- Evolutuon, on 05/31/2008, -4/+20Buried for result manipulation.
- inactive, on 05/31/2008, -3/+13Buried for result manipulation, misleading title.
- fr0ng, on 05/31/2008, -3/+12Damnit, for a second I got excited.
- unpolloloco, on 05/31/2008, -1/+10fortunately, Hillary Clinton Porn loses out to both
- Gabberwok, on 05/31/2008, -0/+9You're absolutely right about the example in the post, but including both of their middle names isn't fair because the sites that include Obama's middle name are usually negative. Comparing Obama to Clinton or Barack Obama to Hillary Clinton is a much more reasonable proposition.
- douglaskarr, on 05/30/2008, -4/+12I think it only proves that Clinton followers don't know what an Internet is.
- AndyBeard, on 05/30/2008, -3/+11So now all everyone has to do is Googlebomb the Google Fight page up to the top of Google for "US Election Results"
- fakekevinrose, on 05/31/2008, -1/+6Why does garbage like this get dugg?
Also, Hillary wins the googlefight,not barack.

buried - mykinco, on 05/31/2008, -0/+5Porn '08!!
- guyincognitoo, on 05/31/2008, -2/+7Yes, but what kind of porn? Hillary Clinton vs Midget Porn gives the edge to Clinton, but with 2.7 million hits for midget porn, I think porn is the winner.
- technosailor, on 05/31/2008, -0/+5Heh
- TheWorm, on 05/31/2008, -4/+8That's the most misleading headline I've ever seen on Digg. Buried as such.
- baldr, on 05/31/2008, -3/+6Using Hussein is kind of unfair, even though it is his middle name it is also the last name of a dictator we executed, and is therefore not normally used by media or in everyday conversation. A less slanted statistic would be looking for Hillary Clinton vs Barack Obama.
(full disclosure: obama supporter) - dotlizard, on 05/30/2008, -1/+4omg that is the best idea i've heard all day. this is totally a thing we should do :)
- technosailor, on 05/31/2008, -4/+7buried for being an idiot ;)
- XedLos, on 05/31/2008, -5/+8Buried as inaccurate
- misterboh, on 05/30/2008, -3/+6I think you have to factor in the medium here, but I agree with the outcome. NBC's Tim Russert did the math a different way a few weeks back and reached the same conclusion:

- Evolutuon, on 05/31/2008, -1/+4Whats that supposed to mean in regards to ME?
- diceau, on 05/31/2008, -1/+4Paul > Kucinich > Obama > Gravel > *
- crazyjake, on 05/31/2008, -2/+4there is this sweet thing called the "reply" option here on Digg. This way you can reference the person or comment all you want (no matter how stupid your comment is) and not trash up the main conversation...
i will now digg you down :) - machocheese34, on 05/31/2008, -1/+3thats a failure to humanity
- inactive, on 05/31/2008, -0/+2Obama thinks you're an *****. He told me so.
- coollettuce, on 05/31/2008, -1/+3Makes me wonder if the author photoshopped the image just to submit it to digg.
- Mollives, on 05/31/2008, -3/+5This Digg is the definition of 'OK, This is Lame'
- bhod, on 05/31/2008, -1/+2Fail. Like we didn't know that idiot.
- Enche, on 05/31/2008, -3/+4did you know you can reply to people directly? use the reply button today!
- godd4242, on 05/31/2008, -2/+3Are you joking?
- peaceninja, on 05/31/2008, -0/+1I noticed this too and went to google fight to check it out. i am glad other people notice these kinds of things and are able to think critically for themselves. not that google fight can be taken seriously anyways...and not that i am supporting hillary anyways either...
- freakon, on 05/31/2008, -11/+12Oh come on.
Hillary Rodham Clinton = 7,420,000 results
Barack Hussein Obama = 655,000 results
Don't you know the more specific, the lesser results? How can you people fall for such obviously slanted statistics? - afruff23, on 05/31/2008, -2/+3Reported you as spam.
- LoveYouSomeEric, on 05/31/2008, -3/+4According to my extensive interweb research, "Hillary Rodham Clinton" will be trounced by "common sense". Common sense wins the day, 36,500,000 to 7,420,000.
In unrelated yet surprising news, balls are FAR more popular than *****. - elshizzo, on 05/31/2008, -3/+4ugh please don't frontpage this. I'm not one of those people who complains about too many Hillary/Obama articles, but this really gives one of those people a lot of firepower.
- afruff23, on 05/31/2008, -1/+2http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&wo ...
Obama wins with 53.6% - Qong, on 05/31/2008, -1/+2Agreed. Apparently the vast majority of Digg users think that is funny, even though they supposedly support the Democrats...
- dotlizard, on 05/31/2008, -4/+4or completely insane. the Anti-MrBabyman people are pretty nutty.
- mlvassallo, on 05/31/2008, -1/+1I was just about to do this same experiment when I saw your comment.
- JoshuaLowe, on 05/31/2008, -2/+2Obama is going to win the nomination, but the title of this article is simply inaccurate. As well as manipulative. Buried.
- technosailor, on 05/31/2008, -4/+4burying for being irrelevant to this conversation, inability to get a joke, and general douchebaggery. Sorry guy
- Kamakazi15, on 05/31/2008, -1/+1Interesting...Hillary gets crushed by Porn by a lot but when I put in Clinton they are much much closer.
- technosailor, on 05/31/2008, -3/+3Yeah just wasn't thinking about it at the time. :)
- bhod, on 05/31/2008, -1/+1I always get excited when I see Obama on digg. It fuels me.
- lucy22, on 05/31/2008, -2/+2true, John Mcain will laugh all the way to the big win.
- bhod, on 05/31/2008, -1/+1Yup, just like the McTards.
Obama 08! - GeekMommy, on 05/31/2008, -2/+2Well it's about as sound as any other election figures logic I've seen in the past 2 yrs.
Personally, I think "None of the Above" wins this way... but then again, we all know how popular he is. - ChromaVita, on 05/31/2008, -3/+2Good thing Hillary didn't win here... She would have a press release to announce these statistics, and an explanation about how because of this she is winning the election.
