Barack Rocks on the Internet
Please forgive. I haven't lost my mind. I'm just stating a fact.
I just received an "I need your $$$ support" email from our good Senator from NC Libby Dole and IT SUCKED. We are way behind as far as marketing ourselves goes. It's as if we don't care about any sort of young support.
As painful as it is for me to ask this, please go to Barack Obama's website and see how a candidate's webpage should be structured (warning, if you actually read through it, you may throw up.) It's awesome, it's clean, it's user friendly and its a great use of the online tools we have available today. Why is his the only one? Basically, all other's online strategy is weak at best. They just don't get it. Neither did he. That's why he hired one of the founders of Facebook as his strategist. And, BOOM, web domination. I have to give him Kudos for this.
The GOP does stand for tradition (or at least it is supposed to) but that doesn't mean old-fashioned. We still need to speak the truth about our beliefs, but we need to evolve the means by which we do it. Like it or not, marketing our beliefs effectively is just as important as our beliefs themselves. And if we don't soon, I may very well be part of our party's last generation.

Joe- Yes, the mybarackobama website was cleverly crafted. I have been using it for awhile and the quality of the writing on a lot of the posts is terrible, reflecting the educational level of the obama maniacs. Click Underlined Link:

We have been surveying the Republican Social Networking Sites as well and can see that there is plenty of room for growth as President Obama will create more prospective Republicans as time goes by. We write prospective because of the gross dissatisfaction with the Republican Presidential Candidate created an opportunity for a "third party," and there are numerous Ron Paul promoters on the Republican Websites, so many that the "Conservatives" complain that they are being crowded-out!

We are very interested in the two-way interaction that savetherepublicans offers Americans that are not affiliated with either party; more voters have registered "independent" than ever before, creating another opportunity for growth.
As the Obama cabinet nominees are confirmed by the Senate we are wondering if the immigration laws are going to continue to be enforced in the nation's heartland as this is a major concern of Americans, Click Underlined Link:
