Radar continues to track the '08 presidential race the high school way: by tallying the candidates' MySpace friends (only those with at least 1,000 qualified).

Last week, Barack Obama took a gamble, giving up 160,000 friends in order to wrestle control of his MySpace page from a California paralegal and former campaign supporter (hence the strangeness in his bit of the above graph—the pink portion is his current level). After the move, he was down in Screech territory with just over 20,000 friends. This week, he rockets up to 61,767, clear into A.C. Slater country. Welcome back, Barack!
