the editors 12/06/2007 - 11:15amWe studied the candidates' websites and statements, hunting for signs that they understand the importance of the internet and new technology for America's future. The Republican field, with the exceptions of Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul, barely escaped flunking. 10 comments | Read more ...

The Web on the Candidates

Someone on the Hillary Clinton campaign is obviously leaking stories to Drudge, says Patrick Ruffini. His proof? A Drudge exclusive claiming that Clinton is on track to exceed her first-quarter earnings. Drudge makes it clear as day that this story is a World Exclusive, which does raise the question of who's passing on this information...

Meanwhile, Election Geek is finding major discrepancies between the Drudge story and a Huffington Post story claiming that Clinton has maxed out her big donors and is struggling to keep up with small donations. "So which one is it?" Geek asks. His opinion: "Clinton had a massive donor database she didn’t even come close to tapping. The prevailing wisdom 'out there' was that everyone jumped ship to Obama. My own thought? She purposely didn’t tap that list knowing they were going to do well in Q1 and saved more big donations for Q2."

It is Sunday, just before 5:00 PM and my comment on Tom Tancredo's blog is up. Took a two days to get up there, but it is up. The date listed on the comment is the date I submitted it, not the date it was approved.

At about 2:00 PM on April 6, 2007, I submitted a comment to a Tancredo blog post that was driving people to a Laura Ingraham poll (April 4, 2007). Here is my comment:

“These polls have no scientific value. They are self-selected samples and therefore reflect only the views of the limited number of people who take the time to respond to them.

The Web on the Candidates -- Daily Digest Lite
Citizen Kate is on a mission "to find out what it takes to be the next great leader in this country."  She's been videotaping herself following around Barack Obama, finally got a chance to touch him!  "They say dreams can come true here, and so they did. Citizen Kate touched Barack Obama! I mean I think [he] did." (via PrezVid)

CitizenTube (also known as Steve Grove) has posted a "Welcome to citizentube" video that that asks viewers to upload video responses to the question, "What issue matters most to YOU?"   For James Kotecki it's "getting people to care about political issues in the first place."  Stuart Moffat wants everyone to turn off the lights for at least five minutes a day.  Some of the other responses seem only loosely related to the question.

Michael Turk dug in deep earlier looking at Tom Tancredo's new website - TeamTancredo.com. And I was simply going to comment, but this has turned in to a rather lengthy post on how a candidate like Tanc is missing opportunities by having a shoddy web operation.

So for the future candidates, campaign operatives, and spokesbloggers in the room, I'll dig in...
