27.7.08 Political profile, as measured by Google
If Google mentions are an indicator of how much impact you are having on the global dialogue, then here are how the various political leaders or candidates are doing (names entered in quotes).
Notes: in the US figures, the sitting president has been added for comparison. No adjustment has been made for namesakes, different spellings, etc. (giving Australian senator Bob Brown, the UK Democratic Unionist Party’s Peter Robinson, the Respect Coalition’s Linda Smith, Northern Ireland’s Alliance Party’s David Ford and New Zealand Alliance co-leaders Kay Murray and Andrew McKenzie more than one might expect). As I am unsure of the leadership of the various green parties in the UK, they have been omitted from the count. First- through third-ranked candidates marked in parentheses. New Zealand Jim Anderton 123,000 Larry Baldock 4,930 Helen Clark 1,050,000 (1) Peter Dunne 151,000 Taito Phillip Field 13,200 Jeanette Fitzsimons 65,900 Rodney Hide 65,800 John Key 220,000 (2) Andrew McKenzie 54,700 Kay Murray 11,500 Russel Norman 37,200 Winston Peters 196,000 (3) Pita Sharples 19,600 Tariana Turia 39,300 USA Chuck Baldwin 275,000 Bob Barr 780,000 George W. Bush 56,200,000 John McCain 39,600,000 (2) Cynthia McKinney 819,000 (3) Barack Obama 62,900,000 (1) UK Gerry Adams 645,000 Gordon Brown 11,700,000 (1) David Cameron 3,160,000 (2) Nick Clegg 370,000 (3—see notes) Mark Durkan 51,100 Reg Empey 38,500 Nigel Farage 69,900 David Ford 618,000 Robin Harper 36,800 Alison Johnson 4,510 Ieuan Wyn Jones 41,300 Dawn Purvis 5,260 Peter Robinson 1,310,000 Alex Salmond 352,000 Linda Smith 508,000 Australia Bob Brown 1,010,000 (3—see notes) Steve Fielding 24,800 Brendan Nelson 283,000 (2—see notes) Kevin Rudd 2,570,000 (1) Warren Truss 73,900 One could do a similar measure using national leaders as a proxy for global influence.

That's very interesting - and confirms my theory that John McCain is just under four times as interesting as Gordon Brown.
By the way I had my banking done by Samantha Powell - she's awesome!
Amazing, isn’t it, to be served by Miss New Zealand?!
