Interest in Palin on Wikipedia crushes that of some of her possible 2012 Republican presidential rivals.Tim Pawlenty's Wiki page was viewed 3,546 times, while Mike Huckabee's page got 68,326 views.
Take Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, for example. He's often mentioned as a possible Republican presidential contender, has an compelling life story of his own, and yet he isn't overly familiar to many Americans. His Wikipedia entry was read about 100,000 times over the last three months. Not bad, but Palin's was read eight times that.
The article didn't disclose how many times Mitt Romney's Wikipedia entry was viewed, so we looked it up. The former Massachusetts governor got 3,804 views in 30 days, which would be somewhere around 11,500 views in three months, if the page was viewed at the same rate for the previous 60 days as it was for the last 30.

Just looked up 0bama, 2,082,933 views in the last 90 days. Just slightly over twice as many as Palin. I'm willing to bet that a large percentage of 0bama's views are from overseas, just as a large percentage of his Facebook supporters are from overseas.
