McCain Campaign Uses Spider/Diff Against Obama

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday July 16, 2008 @01:35AM from the now-we're-getting-somewhere dept.

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.

You have to click on the score to get the moderation history. It was moderated "underrated" and the poster has a karma bonus. Why "underrated" was an appropriate choice here and why it doesn't get listed next to the score, however, I can't answer.

Moderators: Moderate all the elder siblings of this comment insightful. Or maybe underrated. Silly Slashdot.
