I ran some more detailed statistics on this at the weekend,
incidentally - I'll try and post them tonight. Long post, though...

Obama's article was getting about 50% more hits than McCain's, with
Palin somewhere in the middle of the two (!). Interestingly, there was
a *proportionally* higher hitrate on Obama's policies article than
there was on McCains (though both were getting pleasingly high rates
for daughter articles)
