Digging Candidates




Digg quietly launched its "Digg The Presidential," section Tuesday. So far, the activity on the page has been underwhelming.

What's really most odd is that Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton's profile was the only candidate as of Wednesday morning not to be added, and it wasn't added until late in the day. When it was, Clinton's favorited items were press releases.

And she didn't have many friends either. As of late Wednesday, she had 80 friends on Digg. Obama had 4,249 friends, fellow Democrat Dennis Kucinich followed with 3,366. Ron Paul had 7,694. The closest Republican behind him was Mike Huckabee with 393 friends. This Quantcast audience profile gives a hint as to a partial reason for these numbers. "
