Crammed into my coach-class seat I'm entertaining myself as only a true data geek can - by perusing a massive spreadsheet containing Internet users' unique searches for each of the front-running presidential candidates. United Airlines, you may keep your complimentary headset, thank you. I have no interest in watching John Travolta in drag in Hairspray (who picks these movies?) when someone in the Hitwise sample has searched for "Rudy Giuliani cross-dressing avatars...
