Barack Obama’s buzz share in Wonkosphere has remained at 60 percent or just below for 10 straight days now, with John McCain holding at 40%. Neither Ralph Nader nor Bob Barr have been able to break even 0.5% in that same time period. Prognosis: No indicators in the blogosphere that the dynamics of the race have changed. However I do think that because the Obama buzz share lead has hardened, it will be a good indicator on Thursday and Friday of the Wednesday debate performance.

According to Wonksophere buzz share data, Barack Obama has gotten about a 20% increase in buzz share since the Democratic convention began.  Obama is pulling down 75% of the total buzz about the presidential candidates, John McCain is at 24%, and Ron Barr at 1%.  Sentiment about Obama and McCain has remained constant, but the volume of bloggers has exploded.  Whereas the total number of blog posts tracked by Wonkosphere is normally in the 1500 range (about one post per blog per day),  this week the daily average has been in the 2500 range, a 66% increase in volume.
