Last week I posted about using Quantcast to predict the 2008 election – and suggested that Obama and Romney were favorites based on a combination of aggregate numbers and acceleration of traffic.

That post resulted in a roasting by Ron Paul fans (on Digg, on Ron Paul fansites, etc), leading me to check Compete.com for comparable charts. According to Compete, Ron Paul has multiples more traffic AND accelerating at a significantly greater rate.

Blue = Ron Paul
Red= Mitt Romney
Green = John McCain
