Track Veepstakes with our Trends Dashboard
Tuesday, June 26, 2012
The summer before a Presidential election typically brings unending speculation about potential Vice Presidential picks. Veepstakes, as the process has commonly been referred to since 1988, has become a favorite topic of discussion among journalists and politicos. A Vice Presidential pick not only plays a big role in the campaign process, but also can have a profound impact on the democratic process. Theodore Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson and George H.W. Bush are all Vice Presidents that have gone on to become Commander-in-Chief.
We are excited to partner with
Washington Post
’s Chris Cillizza and
The Fix
to launch our first
Veepstakes Trends Dashboard
to track the buzz around Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s potential VP pick. The Veepstakes dashboard allows you to take the web’s real-time political pulse by comparing potential VP candidates' YouTube video views, search traffic, and Google News mentions. You can even drill down and check out which potential nominee has been searched the most over the the last day, week or month.
Check back for updates and trends as Veepstakes speculation continues!
