Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kansas, also announced his presidential campaign this weekend. And he put a VIDEO CHAT UP ON HIS WEBSITE, TOO.
![]()
As did New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson UP AT HIS WEBSITE ... and Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., AT HIS.
Where did Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, FILM HIS CAMPAIGN VIDEO? Looks like a hipster bachelor pad.
AT HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN SITE Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, offers a Youtube link of a recent appearance on the CNN show of Lou Dobbs....Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., likewise PROVIDES SOME FOOTAGE though in a more C-SPANNY kind of way.
![]()
Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., PROVIDES NO VIDEO... NOR DOES Rep. Duncan Hunter, D-Calif....
I think pixil per pixil, former Sen. Johnny Edwards, D-NC, HAS THE BEST DEMOCRATIC WEBSITE ...though former Iowa GOV. TOM VILSACK'S isn't bad either....
Lots of video and blogging and links and other options, though I realize some of the coverage of Sen. Hillary Clinton's CAMPAIGN WEBSITE seems as if she invented the internet.
![]()
Anyway...back to our survey.....on the GOP side, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has a pretty cool MITT-TV OFFERING.... Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani's SITE IS A BIT WANTING.
![]()
....Arizona Sen. John McCain's SITE is also a bit spare, though it arguably has the most artful photographs.
I feel like I'm forgetting someone....

All of them have nice websites. The only things, in my opinion, that may be "too" much are the links to the candidate's profiles on MySpace, etc. Is this really necessary, and, umh, do MySpacers vote?

What do you say about a political party that his this guy as a prominent member? Yikes.

I really hope that Sam Brownback gets it. He is just the type of crazy Republican that deserves the parties nominee. Those Republicans are so good at restricting the rights of women and hating gay people. They know exactly what the country needs right now.
NOT

Interesting. I'm not a fan of the Obama/Clinton style monologue. *yawn* Whatever.
And yeah Obama's backdrop was spartan compared to Clinton's warm and inviting home or office or set or whatever that was. But who cares? I mean, this isn't an audition to work for Martha Stewart.
On the democratic side, I like Vilsack's site. It's informative, and in the videos he comes across as genuine. Dry, but genuine.
Good call re Rudy. Seriously lacking.
But my favorite is Mitt TV. Mitt is stiff. But rather than getting some hollywood producer to lighten him up *cough*hillary*cough* he makes fun of himself. (See the "Wicked Smart..." clip.) If his site is any indication of how he's going to run his campaign, he'll be a force to be reconned with.

Obviously, the trendy way to announce one's candidacy for president is to do so on the internet. I have to wonder what's next, appearing on "Deal or No Deal" as a contestant?

Hello again/Jake Tapper..
Sen. Joe Biden..that's a website/
LINKS all over the place..
I think the Senator has been respectfully "smart" concerning alot of the Political angles passing the American Families "nose"..
I would sit many times in a classroom collecting subject matter..looking for my move or connection..in the heavy future that really still LOOMS around every age and working class..
Somehow I connect w/Joe Biden in this mindset..
He's rationalizeing the "over-there" issues..w/Common Sense about people in general terms(lifestyles)..w/positve attudues I quess he has a Gamble for America..useing such a stratagey..
I would then quess in his Gamble there are OPTIONS..maybe what we are really used too anyway..
Senator Joe Biden has stated things rationally..if there's that resource in Amercia..are Americans rational??

Just a NOTE/
MITT-TV..??..
I only Viewed the HomePage..but would say Mit Rommney is running his Internet Website useing people..automation..??..
..
No Quessing seems in this webpage..
so right off its a place for Key(??)Issues..
..
if I needed to review in my mind the past Discussion Boards at www.abcnews.go.com/
its the Out-Sourceing playing field that has emerged as some "footprint"..about work-life-paychecks..
..
Mit Rommney...is saying what??

Hello again/Jake Tapper..
Rudy's website is nice looking..
The American Flags in the background are waving in all directions..yet Rudy Guilianni has a motto for NYC called One City-One Standard..
..Interesting..
Rudy looks quite popular in my opinion.

Good Morning Jake Tapper....1/22/07..
Well I visited the Sen. J. McCain website..
I think the Page/about John McCain is very interesting..and the Federalist Speech crowd seemed right on target..
I bit spare/sometimes in this Digital Age that can be an advantage//
In the coming days I'll bet the heat goes the way of no account personal debate..I think Ted Kennedy started that insight this morning on Meet the Press..if "spare" might better define the thoughts this man has for issueing the American Citizen a "conscience"..
as politics go..
and economy's come to a front..
The truth most times is in the home..
this is where I think the Democrats fail/
attempting to profit from "mistakes"/
I quess we are all stuck here..but when the mistakes are totally ignored and some glory continues in "blurred" words/you definitly have your demons.
