The Driver's Seat
I was just scanning the New York Times "Campaigns" headline page and quickly realized how apparent it is who is the driving force in this race.
Number of times a (possibly potential) candidate's name appears in a headline on this page:
How you like dem apples?

Someone pointed out that I had omitted George. He's mentioned in 1 headline, but included in two other subheads.

- Howard Dean - 8
- Wesley Clark - 3 (possibly and-a-half since he also gets a picture with a headline, but the headline doesn't mention him; one other story just refers to the General)
- Dick Gephardt - 1
- Joe Lieberman - 1
- John Kerry - 1
- Hillary Clinton - 1
- George W. Bush - 1
