This internet consultant is tracking data about the e-Campaigns of Republican and Democrat presidential candidates. ("MediaPost Publications - The Political Horse Race Is On - 05/30/2007"). I think it is hard to draw many conclusions from the data, but it is interesting to consider the implications of the campaign tactics of respective campaigns. For example, how much does Hillary's extraordinary e-Campaign activity demonstrate that she is popular vs. unpopular? How significant is it that Rudy Giuliani isn't resorting to an e-Campaign in a GOP primary? How relevant is it that Ron Paul is incredibly, though passively, popular in the on-line world?
The author doesn't consider Fred Thompson's on-line (non)campaign, but I perceive he is exceptionally active in this arena.
How important do you think it is for a Republican candidate to capitalize on an internet campaign's potential?
Update: Bill Hobbs has a nice post (here) about politics and the "New Media."
