WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton has largely steered clear of traditional radio and television advertising, instead nurturing the Internet audience and drawing the largest number of online visitors.

Clinton had the most visitors to her Web sites in August, almost 760,000, compared to her rivals, but she ran only about 2,200 radio and television spots so far this year, according to Nielsen data released on Monday.

Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, who has consistently run second in national polls, was a close second in the number of Web page visitors with about 750,000 in August, but ran almost double the number of radio and television spots this year with 4,300.

The Democrat who ran the most television and radio spots was New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson with about 6,000. He has mostly registered in the single digits in polls. He had 103,000 Web site visitors in August, Nielsen found.

1. I'm sure a lot of Freepers are keeping tabs on her too...

I don't think the number of web hits means much... there's no way to know who they are... friends or foes.

2. How

How many visitors did Edwards have again? I must have missed the info.

3. I've no clue

I'd be the last person to remember that sort of thing, since I put no stock in it.

4. She's the strongest with the grassroots internet Democratic base...and the base in general. nt
