"Our Largest Rally Yet"

This video will definitely help Obama's campaign. It contains elements that almost every voter find important, such as images of families coming out to rallies, people of all nationalities showing up, interviews of children who want to be like obama, and the number "75,000." It definitely allows viewers to feel strong about their support for Obama, who stands in the video hand in hand with his loving family.

Website content: Decent. Ease of Use: 8/10. Desperation: 11/10. Hillary’s website does the usual job of providing information regarding Hillary Clinton and her campaign, platform, and news, but it seems one message stands out among the rest: We Need Money! You figure that someone campaigning for office would be less insistent on donations, but the site does a good job of emphasizing the desire for donations, in a great bold red, contrasting greatly from the rest of the blue website. Contribute! Contribute! Contribute!
Hillary’s website has one key factor that caught my eye. It says “Hillary for President.” Throughout the campaign process, Hillary has been avoiding the use of her last name. It seems that the name “Clinton” will always be associated with negative memories or ideas, so I suppose it’s a strong move on her part.
The site does a good job acknowledging her supporters, whether it be West Virginia, Michigan, or Florida.
A favorite part of the site for me:


This is a strong move to reach out to the community. Online communities such as MySpace and Facebook are enormous, and being connected through those websites allow both the candidate and the citizens to remain well connected.

Much more subtle. Obama’s homepage is basically a splash page dedicated to a simple request for donations and signing up for e-mails. One unique feature about his site: the logo. He seems to be the only candidate who’s website has an actual logo, not the usual “____ for president” surrounded by red, white, and blue.

This is an awesome feature of the site. Basically provides a live update on the number of delegates in regards to both Obama and Clinton. It also keeps an updated number of delegates needed for the nomination. Obama’s site is easy on the eyes, making visitors feel good when visiting. Also, rather than having his header be “Obama for President,”

New and Improved!!

AN AMAZING CHANGE from McCain’s previous website. Before, this website was black, with the occasional yellow accents on important points. However, this new website is much more visually appealing, not to mention much easier to use. The best function of this website in my opinion is the “Select Your JohnMcCain.com Edition” section. Lets ANYBODY access the website and learn something new. This is especially helpful for the UnRegistered Voter, who can receive so much information regarding the campaign, and voting in general.

MCCAINSPACE!!! Its like a MySpace for the McCain community. I find it funny, and at the same time intelligent for these campaign organizations to be using technology and the internet in order to reach the American Citizen.

The McCain campaign team offers a variety of downloadable goodies!

computer icons! facebook pictures! so heres me making use of them I suppose.

From Chelsea?

Dear Friend,

We need your help to make a critical decision -- our next official campaign t-shirt.

We recently launched a contest to design a campaign t-shirt, and I couldn't believe the incredible response. We got thousands of great entries. They were creative, inspirational, funny, and beautiful. It was amazing to see the devotion to my mom's campaign come through in each t-shirt. Thank you to everyone who submitted a design!

It wasn't easy to narrow it down, but we've chosen five we think are particularly great, and now we need your help in making our final decision. Please vote for your favorite design -- the winning shirt will go on sale in our online campaign store.

Please click here to see the finalists and vote for your favorite.

Thanks again for everything you're doing to help my mom!

Go Hillary!
Chelsea

I didn't expect to get an email from Chelsea Clinton, let alone one regarding t-shirts, but it was nice to hear from her I suppose. Its good in the sense that we know Hillary's own daughter is playing an active role in her mother's candidacy. However, its strange in that she tries to end her professional email with the words "mom" and "Go Hillary!" I half expect Obama's young children to also write emails to his supporters, or perhaps simply draw a nice crayon picture of him in the White House?

Hmmm...

A shot at Republicans I suppose. This election seems primarily focused on Hillary and Obama. Republicans or forgotten, and dying out.

A Hill-arious shot at Hillary.

HillaryClinton.com posted a new press release today titled "Why I Continue To Run," a question in the minds of so many other Americans. Ultimately, the press release seems like a simple restatement of her stand on the issues, but there were hints of other interesting points. While some arguments for her staying point to her duty to counteract the potential harm that may be brought on with the nomination of other candidates, one caught my eye. “Everybody’s Vote, Everybody’s Voice.” While Hillary was speaking at a suburban Sioux Falls grocery store a woman said that she doesn’t want Clinton to step down until every last state has had their votes cast, and the verdict is final. This is a very valid argument. Although it may seem as if she cannot win, there will always be a possibility for her success, and staying in the race may potentially be her best decision ever.
