Democrat Barack Obama and Republican Ron Paul were selected by members of the online MySpace community as their parties' 2008 presidential candidates, the site announced Thursday.With the Iowa caucuses looming later in the day, MySpace's count of more than 150,000 virtual votes January 1-2 showed Obama on top with 46 percent of the vote, trailed by Hillary Clinton (31 percent) and John Edwards (eight percent).
MySpace, which dubbed its own exercise "the Nation's First Presidential Primary," said Republicans picked Ron Paul with 37 percent of ballots, followed by Rudy Giuliani (18 percent) and Mike Huckabee (16 percent).
The poll appears to be a pretty solid guage of the 18 - 30 demographic: only those with MySpace accounts could vote, which ensured a "one man, one vote" outcome.
