For example, John McCain’s web site currently ranks number 68 for a search on “John McCain” in Google. Plus none of the candidates rank in the top fifty at Google for keywords like “candidate,” “2008 election,” “united states presidential election,” and “democratic candidates” or “republican candidates.”
