McCain Asks Supporters To Campaign On Blogs

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the new-era-of-campaigning dept.

Vote McCain in 2000! writes "McCain is not the stranger to technology some think him to be. McCain is now asking supporters to stump for him on blogs. Republican Web 2.0 consultant David All was effluent with praise for this outreach, calling it 'smart' and 'unique.' McCain's blogger outreach section has a handy list of political blogs which might be interested in hearing about McCain, such as the DailyKos, Crooks and Liars, and Think Progress. You can even report your posts to the campaign and 'receive points for your success,' though the page doesn't say what exactly the points are good for." Slashdot is not on their suggested blogs list. Can't imagine why.

    I think not. The old fart can go stump for himself.

      I don't think the parent should be considered a troll. He's merely voicing his opinion of the old fart.

      I'm pretty sure that calling the voters shallow and lazy isn't the kind of internet promotion the McCain campaign was hoping for.

    Uh, effluent?

    "Republican Web 2.0 consultant David All was effluent with praise"

    From the MacOSX Dictionary:
    liquid waste or sewage discharged into a river or the sea : the bay was contaminated the effluent from an industrial plant.

    Oh, wait. Politician talking about a propaganda plan. I guess effluent is the correct word then. Carry on.

    The *real* reason to vote for Obama:

    MaCain's web site runs on Windows and uses HTML Tables. Obama's web site runs on Linux, and uses XHTML/CSS.
