Who Do Young Voters Really Support in the '08 Race?

The University of Nevada-Reno's Sagebrush has a new angle on the old politicians-joining-Facebook story. The paper counted all the political groups it could find, and then counted their members. Here's a rundown of the most popular:

1. "Barack Obama (One Million Strong for Barack)" is the largest, with over 304,000 members this morning (and 288,388 when the Sagebrush counted).
2. "Hillary Clinton for President--One Million STRONG" has 3,960. (A group called "One Million Strong against Hillary" has 7,490.)
3. "Giuliani for President '08!" has 1,980.
4. "John McCain for President--One Million for McCain" has 1,578.
