BuzzFeed says that Mitt Romney is losing in the war on the web. They write, "the Republican's traffic poison has been felt this year at websites across the political spectrum — including at BuzzFeed — and it's left many editors, publishers and bloggers yearning for the days of the unpredictable Sarah Palin, the maverick John McCain and the Obama-Clinton blood feud. "Some of this is probably because Romney is old news; in a sense he's been running for president for five years," said Matt Lewis, a blogger at The Daily Caller. Lewis, like other journalists interviewed, declined to share specific metrics. But he said he sees a noticeable drop-off in online engagement when he writes a post about Romney."
