In a desperate attempt to head off a political flamewar I'm clearly
responsible for setting off, I'm going to answer Bruce's question, at
least partially. I obtained data for the major and minor party
candidates whose names or party's names I knew or could easily find out.
Apologies if I left off your favorite candidate or party--no
partisanship was intended.

Each entry in the table below represents the most recent query by the
Netcraft survey (www.netcraft.com) for the FQDN beginning with www.

Summary
-------

Apache runs 73% of these sites; IIS runs 27%. Considering the small
sample size, that's pretty consistent with Netcraft's overall
statistics, which show Apache running slightly less than 70% of the 55+
million sites surveyed, with IIS at about 20% and everybody else (Sun,
NCSA, etc.) splitting the remainder.
