McCain Campaign Uses Spider/Diff Against Obama
Vote McCain in 2008! writes "McCain's campaign is doing everything it can to erase Obama's online advantage, this time they ambushed Obama by detecting edits to his website when he updated some of his policy positions. This isn't the first time the Republicans have shown up the Democrats with their web savvy — you may remember the previous reports about the Republican Web 2.0 Consultants and their online campaigning game. This just proves that old Republicans can learn new tricks." Assuming the spider adheres to robots.txt, this is clever and well done.
The original poster's name is "Vote McCain in 2008!". Someone tell me this post isn't really part of his political effort to elect McSame.
I'd rather a politician who can recognize when he's in the wrong, and restate his position, than a politician that is continually wrong, and won't budge.
W. And McSame are those politicians.
Besides, hooray that Republicans can use web diff tools. Whoopie-fuckin'-doo. Can they get us out of this Iraq war? John McCain said we could be there 100 years!
Later he said 10 years.. and later 5 more years. Can't HE make up his mind already?
Either way, get this political crap out of here. Next someone will be telling me that Republicans figured out how to send email.
