You can add directly from MySpace

Click the "get and share tab." You can add it directly to your myspace or facebook or blog without going to the candidate page. It's a pretty good sharable widget. Come on, admit we have a great widget.

It's on MySpace

The difference is that MySpace users can add the widget directly from MySpace, without going to a candidate page.

Just as in Facebook, people are more apt to add apps and widgets if they see them on the page they're on.

Ron Paul campaign widget

The Paul campaign has a donate widget for blogs, myspace, etc. It takes PayPal. Am I missing something here?

What's the advantage of using the MySpace/PayPal tool?

Here's a MySpace page with a Ron Paul widget on it.

edit: Click the "get and share" tab on the widget to see code for all kinds of applications.
