I disagree with the claim that this is Google "giving people the results they expect" and its not them picking a winner either. In the past, Google has dealt with people pulling the same tricks to get other politically incendiary things listed highly by their ranking algorithm, and have often chosen to not tamper with the results even when its not something that they agree with. So I don't think this says anything particularly interesting about Google or about whether conservatives have stopped using Google search, etc; mostly, it is a run-of-the-mill case of a group of people gaming of Google's search algorithm to their own ends. With all of that said, I hadn't expected someone to reply to my comment with a post nearly as thoughtful as yours, so thank you for that.
