Wonkosphere suggests at least Edwards politicos will go to Obama
by WonkoKevin
Hillary Clinton’s liberal Wonkosphere buzz share didn’t change at all yesterday, and that was big news… Huh? Couple Clinton’s non-movement with John Edwards’ buzz share shooting up from 10 to 30%, and it can only mean one thing–Barack Obama’s buzz share went down 20%. While there are several reasonable interpretations, mine is this: Clinton’s bloggers kept on talking about Clinton, and Obama’s bloggers took time off to blog about Edwards. Edwards has maintained a base of about 10% buzz for the past several weeks, and I don’t see those opinion leaders going away. My guess is they’ll turn their attention to Obama. That doesn’t mean that voters will, but it can’t hurt Obama’s chances. The other way to spin it is that Clinton’s base of bloggers is strong regardless of what happens with anyone else.
