In November of 2006, I was looking to see who to vote for in our local elections in Virginia, and thought I would see if any of the candidates were doing any PPC advertising. See my post on Goyami in 2006. The post was picked up by noted political blogger Howard Mortman on ExtreemeMortman.com
So here we are, 2 years later, coming up on the 2008 presidential election, and how are our candidates doing? Here is the search for presidental election on Google.
Here are the ads I see:

It looks like paid search advertising has caught on a bit. The GOP is at the top, and Barack is at the bottom. I wonder if that is how the election results will turn out?
And as of today a search for "president" only pulls up the GOP ad.
i think ppc is very useful in political advertisement.it will help them a lot in popularity matters.
