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.

    Why is this not surprising? Anyone with any sort of brain knows that Obama has no idea about anything; the only people voting for him are the ones too stupid to realize he is just saying whatever he needs to, to get elected.

    Shhhh! It's not like they're actually paying attention, anyway....
