Stephen Colbert is on the ballot after all -- the GeniusRocket ballot, that is; what happens when you set up a water cooler in the middle of a park in New York City? Magic!; Debatepedia launches, promises to bring truth and reason to the American people for once and for all; and a John Edwards video attacking Hillary Clinton gets popular, paving the way for at least a dozen follow-ups.

The New Hampshire blog Blue Hampshire gets a profile in the Wall Street Journal; Why Tuesday gets responses about election reform from 11 out of 16 candidates; two conservative bloggers filed an FEC complaint against Hillary Clinton; are Ron Paul supporters using botnets to send out thousands of spam emails?; Joe Trippi and Cyrus Krohn, mano-a-mano; Ed Markey taps the opinions of DailyKos readers; and Stephen Colbert's Facebook group is generated an uptick in registered voters.

Forwarded emails from right-wing activists continue to spread false rumors about the candidates; William Beutler says Stephen Colbert is popular in the blogosphere, but not as popular as other candidates; once again, is the left better at the web than the right? No, says Jon Henke, though they still have a few things to learn; a "truth-boating" video drudges up old accusations about Hillary Clinton; and Chris Dodd's Talk Clock is back! Pez!

The New York Times reports on Stephen Colbert's Facebook Group "1,000,000 Strong For Stephen T Colbert." Like anything Colbert, one should be cautious when drawing serious inferences, but the report begs a few questions. First, what does this "support" mean, and what does it say about political use of Facebook?

Stephen Colbert gets more than one million supporters on Facebook; reactions to RedState's decision to restrict Ron Paul supporters from commenting; and GeniusRocket launches a voter-generated ad contest.

Ever since Stephen Colbert announced his run for president, I’ve been keeping an eye out for his web strategy. After all, this is the guy that mobilized 17,231,724 people to go online and vote to name a Hungarian bridge after him.

He still hasn’t come up with anything fun (yet), but an interesting report shows that Colbert’s site ColbertNation.com is the fourth most-visited site among the candidates.

The Politico launches a young voter-themed sub-site; Debate Porridge calls the campaigns on a Saturday and finds that most of them aren't working; interesting numbers about the effectiveness of campaigns' web effectiveness from the Politico's Ryan Grim and Compete.com; a puff piece about Joe Trippi tracks his rise to de facto campaign manager of the Edwards campaign; and Stephen Colbert passes Bill Richardson in a poll and more than 500,000 are members of a pro-Colbert Facebook group.

Stephen Colbert gets a Facebook group; more data fun over at ronpaulgraphs.com; Barack Obama is the next participant in the MySpace/MTV Presidential Forum -- where are the Republicans?; Todd Zeigler on Obama's latest "personal" email.
