What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Among Republicans, McCain was winning 39 percent of the vote, Romney had 28 and Huckabee 12. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani had 9 percent, Texas Rep. Ron Paul 8.

    Good catch, OK. The race is certainly not won yet.

    This makes it a three way race, McCain, Romney, Huckabee.
    Michigan, Nevada and South Carolina will be critical.

    I always found it funny to declare a winner when only 185 out of 305 precincts have reported. That having been said, he does have the lead.

    I agree they called it too early but this time they were right. But maybe wrong next time.

    Could be his longstanding work there. He came out strong talking with Russert on Sunday.

    HE DID WIN NEW HAMPSHIRE 8 YEARS AGO SO SOME STILL REMEMBER AND LIKE HIM.

    Huckabee doing better than expected too -- Giuliani needs better news in Michigan, or his chances on Super Tuesday might get really bleak. There will probably only be 3 viable candidates going into Feb 5 -- right now I'd bet on McCain, Huckabee and Romney making it.

    I think you' are right. Unless Giuliani wins Florida he may be gone.

      Ruby has just been a huge non-factor which is somewhat surprising.. Although not have the religious vote is a death nail for him.

      I'm wondering with all the Ron Paul support online (according to almost every newsvine election poll), that he's not doing better in the "real" world.

      The Republican presence online has always seemed less solid than the Democrats', in my experience. I've noticed how several popular Republican blogs still do not have RSS feeds to this day!

      If the youth and independent votes could not propel Obama to the top in NH, what chance would Ron Paul have? Not to mention uncomfortable details of his past keep surfacing, and that his views on economics are rather.. peculiar, he'd scare off many potential supporters.

      Good comment. If Ron Paul was somehow nominated his past statements would be brought up and some would be very hard to explain. The main media have mostly given him a free ride so far.

          Giuliani will not get many conservative religious votes.
          You must remember that many internet users are too young to vote.
