Better than Obama's?? His site has been amazing the entire time. I think it has a great style, tons of content that answered my questions, and even the communities and groups like "GAF for Obama" worked well. I was able to easily find events in my local areas during the primaries.

McCain (and even Hillary's redesign) basically copied everything Obama had. Heck, Obama had Facebook pages, twitter, etc before anybody else.

Speaking of GAF for Obama, we need a new fundraising goal for the GE

Axelrod: We're Working With Dean to Redraw Political Map

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/06/05/obama-and-dean-team-up-to_n_105419.html
Sixteen months after he launched his campaign for the White House, Sen. Barack Obama may, just now, be entering his campaign's most perilous stage. Facing a rift of sorts within the Democratic Party and concerns over the scope of his political base, the Illinois Democrat is pursuing an unconventional path to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave: unlike those before him, he has pledged to redraw the electoral map by putting new, traditionally Republican states in play.

A slew of political factors will determine Obama's success in turning red states blue. But the Senator, in no small measure, will be aided in his task by reforms that preceded his run for the presidency. For all of the hoopla surrounding the candidates, the 2008 presidential election will be the first truly national test of the viability and prescience of Howard Dean's 50-state strategy.

snip//

In early May, the Senator took the first step down that road by launching a country-wide voter registration drive, with the hopes of playing off of his primary successes. The campaign would not discuss how and where Obama would look to open offices, spend advertising dollars, or coordinate resources. Since securing the nomination, however, the Senator is tightening his control over the party. News circulated this week that Obama will persuade the DNC to refuse any lobbyist funding, a stance in line with his own campaign. And a high-ranking Obama official, Paul Tewes, is slated to help oversee fundraising efforts at the committee.

The potential beneficiaries of the Obama-Dean alliance could be numerous. Down-ticket Democrats are not only banking on an influx of resources into their races, but are hoping that a synthesized effort between the presidential candidate and campaign committees provides a political boost even in traditionally hostile locales. The environment is certainly ripe. Already Democrats have ripped three congressional seats away from the GOP in special elections. The Cook Political Report list 27 seats GOP House seats that will be in play, in addition to seven in the Senate.

"It is not that Obama needs what the DNC under what Dean has done," said Thomas Mann, a scholar at the Brookings Institute. "It is that the Obama nominating campaign has reinforced what the DNC was doing. And all of this will be primarily helpful down ticket. It gives Democrats some opportunities to win Senate, House and other legislative contests and over time puts them in the position of turning around some truly red states."

I thought so for a split second as well, but I decided to change my mind. Hilary sure as hell isn't helping things by trying to put all this pressure on him.

I see all this backroom and public pressuring and I think to myself -- We'll do it without her. We have to do it without her.

I haven't stopped giggling about it. I can't wait for the town hall meetings now, just in hopes that McCain says something along the same lines out of nowhere.

Obama on veep slection (Short version: STFU I'm working on it!):

"I appreciate very much the statement. Senator Clinton has obviously been through this. President Clinton went though a very deliberative process when he selected Al Gore. So we have put together a committee, we are going to be equally deliberative in how we move forward and now we are going to move forward and we are not going to do in the press and we are not going to do it through surrogates."

"The next time you hear from me about the vice presidential selection process will be when I select a vice president. And if you hear second hand accounts, rumors, gossip about the selection process, you can take it from me that it is wrong because we are not going to be talking about it in the press."

Is that what you instructed the committee?

"I am a strong believer in doing this in a careful deliberate way outside of the day to day political pressures that inevitably start up during this kind of thing. Listen, there is no decision that I am going to make that is more important before the November election. I intend to do it right and I am not going to do it in the press."

So will you say definitely if Clinton is an option?

“I said before that Sen. Clinton would be on anbody’s short list. But I am not going to discuss who is being considered, how they are being considered, we are just not going to talk about this anymore.”

What a dumb bitch.

Clinton dragged her damned self into debt by continuing to campaign for a race that she could not have possibly won. She is worth millions upon millions, this important is too damned important to be wasting money on her (Obama has already had to spend more then he should have). She can pick up her own fucking tab with her hidden donors.

I wish I could be right up in Geraldine Ferraro's face when Obama wins.

Has ABC surpassed Fox News in bias against Obama? It seems they're trying to make the case, this might be even worse than the debate.

http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=5002928

It's basically a "Funny" list to call Obama a corrupt terrorist sympathizer.

Here's the McCain list, which is merely a hastily thrown together blog posting. Doesn't even include Hagee, Parsley, or any actual controversial campaign figure.

i'm not sure if there's a mechanism for Obama to 'transfer' funds, but he can decide to co-host fundraising drives. that, however, would've made more sense if Clinton didn't push her campaign till the embers went out and gave Obama more time to pivot to McCain.

Wow amazing write up there.

And where exactly was the Clinton Feminist Defense Corps when O'Reilly was talking about lynching Michelle Obama, and as the Right began to paint her as an extremist much in the mold of Hillary Clinton in 1992? They didn't seem to have a problem with sexism directed at their opponents wife. The short answer is the Clinton feminists don't see Michelle Obama as "one of them," three guesses why.

There is so much truth in that article it's crazy.

Explain that being the first serious black presidential candidate is a little harder than maybe it looked.

Someone actually had the hutzpah to say this? They want Obama to go crawling to Ferraro and actually seriously suggest that his being a black man made his run to this nomination easy? Do they have any sense of history? It was by no means easy for Obama to accomplish what he did. Hell, as it is right now, I suspect that had Obama not had a white mother and white relatives in his family to help further endear him to certain blocks of voters we wouldn't be talking about him being the nominee right now.

They even suggest Obama coming to Hilary's aide to show he isn't sexist when she has thrown him under the bus every chance she has gotten.

Lou Dobbs about to give props to Obama for insisting that the DNC not take any lobbyist money? Who knows, we'll see.

McCain failed Lou Dobbs Challenge miserably.

LOL why should Obama pay for Clinton essentially trying to sabotage his campaign? If she would've went out when mathematically, she had no chance, and went out gracefully, I would go for it. I would've even went for her as VP... But after comments made by Ferraro throughout this campaign, and Hillary's own behavior, she deserves neither.
