Obama Beats McCain In Spam Landslide

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-isn't-that-unfortunate dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The New York Times runs an article about the spammers' choice of presidential candidate. From the article: 'According to Secure Computing Corp., spammers were nearly seven times more likely to slap Obama's name in the subject line than McCain's during September. The bulk of Obama's lead in the spam wars came from a massive blitz early in the month.' Secure Computing released additonal numbers for the past weeks, and McCain was able to close the gap in the latest spammers' poll."

    people willingly omitting slanderous and unfounded crap about other people from their websites has been here since the dawn of internet.

    and the person you label as 'big brother' openly declares support about net neutrality and lectures about what freedom and equal opportunity means to internet and how it is tied to network neutrality on his website and policies.

    dont spurt crap without knowing about what you speak about next time.

    Or...maybe it's because they view Obama supporters as more gullible and likely to respond?
