In an effort to eschew a slightly stodgy public persona, Sarkozy's DiscoSarko lets visitors make the Presidential hopeful dance in a number of interesting and goofy ways, to a few choice selections of music. It's well built, totally campy and, absolutely endearing.
We're anxiously anticipating the next U.S. election and, candidates are already turning up the PR machine. Who knows, we might see some crazy political web marketing ala-DiscoSarko by the time 2008 rolls around. As the web has become an irreplaceable force in political campaigns, and web technologies allow for more complex and engaging displays, its impossible to predict what we might see. As much as I enjoy DiscoSarko, I implore Hillary Clinton's campaign web team, please don't make Sen. Clinton into a dancing machine, that's something no one wants to see.

Ouch ! I am French and I didn't know about all this web-nonsense about presidential elections. Discosarko made me laugh. It uses the goofiest french songs ever (Chaud Cacao... L'Envie... well... even my mother doesn't listen to that anymore) and makes an attempt to speak the way french teens are speaking.
Let's see if the buzz will spread ............
