Vote the site - vote for your favorite political website
If you're not sick of the campaign open season yet, and need some way to show some love for your candidate's website, VotetheSite might be for you. Okay, officially you're supposed to vote on which political candidate's website you think is the best. But c'mon, I doubt most people will go to the trouble of analyzing the candidates' sites for usability and features. You're going to vote for your candidate, right?
The site lets' you vote for the presidential site you like the best as well as US Congressional sites by state. If you register, you can add all the commentary you want. The site was developed by New Media Campaigns, a North Carolina website development firm. From what I can tell, they do work for both Republicans and Democrats so it appears you're entering neutral election territory.
Here at Download Squad, we're definitely non partisan. Let us know which "site" you think is better, strictly from a geek perspective - McCain's or Obama's.

well if you just look at the thumbnail the mccain site has alot more 'activity' in the middles thats not pleasing to the eye, if you go there its not that bad looking unless you lean right ontop of the screen to look at it. other than that theyre both pretty good where obama won my vote is because even in pictures it matches the color scheme all the way down and when you highlight the titles they obama links were written in smaller print so more fit on the page where on mccain on my laptop (1280x800) i had to scroll. but considering he has a much larger percent of the older crowd i think that might be intended to be easier on their eyes.
i tried to be as impartial as i could considering im deeply in the tank for obama
