They're talking about you:
So midway through the returns last night, I went hunting for news from the world live web. I focused on the comment streams on Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama's official blogs, thinking that they might be a useful mirror into the hearts and minds of each candidate's most die-hard supporters. And indeed, in a rough and dirty way, that's what I found. ... The best Obama blog comment I spotted was this one: "This Chardonnay sipping, latte loving NPR addict is having a six-pack tonight : )" ... My rough estimate on the intensity of the conversation was that Clinton's blog got a new comment once every 60 or 70 seconds, while Obama's commenters popped in about once every 20 seconds.I know these soundings are subjective. But I think they're as interesting as news stories where reporters talk to a few people in a coffee shop about their reactions to the race. Actually, I think they're more informative, because blog commenters on a campaign website tend to be passionate supporters of a candidate. Right now, the Obama campaign site has logged more than 7200 comments on about a half dozen blog posts since about midnight last night.
