Barack Obama was the most sought-after Democratic presidential candidate in 2007, while Fred Thompson finished first among the Republican contenders -- at least, in terms of whose name was entered most often in the Ask.com search engine.

No significance was attached to Ask.com's summary, released Wednesday.

Obama finished first overall, with fellow Democrat Hillary Clinton second. Thompson came in third, well ahead of the other GOP contenders.

Here's the complete list:

1. Barack Obama
2. Hillary Clinton
3. Fred Thompson
4. John Edwards
5. Mitt Romney
6. John McCain
7. Ron Paul
8. Rudy Giuliani

Clinton will be a great President and knows what this country needs, unlike obama and his boss a TV talk show host. Notice once again how obama is keeping attention on oprah and not his record or the fact that he's missing very important senate votes one after another!, like the Energy vote for Iowa, is ducking votes on abortion and Iran!!! Seeking a trillion-dollar tax hike and raising the retirement age for Social Security!!!Iowans don't expect him to vote for you! Why would you vote for him??? Obama is sleazy and dishonest, he's banking that TV viewers can be fooled into the perception that a vote for him is a vote for Oprah! It's DISGUSTING!! I hope he loses big in IOWA!
obama supporter's talk about desperation, the desperation is clearly obama winphrey, like others have noticed recently, obama had no substance, just a daytime talk show dog and pony show! The only who is worried about oprah is Michelle obama! This guy is a joke and would be foolish for anyone to consider him realistically...He cant show up for the senate job he was elected, why would anyone thin he can be president?

Iowa will make the smart choice and choose anyone other than Oprah's boy!

WAKE UP, look past obamas & oprahas smoke screen and mirror show this weekend
