As you can see in the graph below (source), interest in Palin's nomination, as gauged by Google search queries, was significantly higher than that surrounding Obama's decision to add Joe Biden to the Democratic ticket.




Will the hype last? Its hard to tell, but I would be willing to bet the numbers are skewed somewhat because a month ago she was completely unknown to the general public of ALL parties -- except for Adam Brickley, who you may have seen the other day on the Colbert Report.

If you, like me, have received several off the wall emails just after Palin's nomination, feel free to forward them to me at callmehoratio@gmail.com. Perhaps I can put together a compilation of the most "informative."
