Joe Biden\u2019s red, white and blue home page is dominated by news and a series of slide shows as well as opportunities to make financial contributions. There are four different opportunities just on the homepage, one of which is an attention-grabbing red button placed in the middle right hand side. His campaign blog is frequently updated with an an average of six new posts a day. <\/p>\n\n

Beneath the words \u201cPrincipled, Conservative, Republican,\u201d Sam Brownback\u2019s Web site is heavier on text than most, and in some ways less technologically refined. A large banner dominates the home page, declaring grandly, \u201cBrownback President 2008,\u201d with an American flag in the background. The home page uses \u2018tabs,\u2019 each of which is essentially a long list of content pieces like news articles, blog posts and issues. The Web site also prominently promotes his book, \u201cFrom Power to Purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Well organized, tech-savvy and active, the first thing one might notice about this site is that the candidate is called Hillary\u2014the word Clinton is absent. There are \u201c8 Things You Can Do,\u201d from \u201cJoin Team Hillary (i.e. sign up for emails and give personal information), to \u201cBe A Hillraiser\u201d (i.e. fundraiser), \u201cJoin\/Start a Group (social networking) to \u201cStart a Blog.\u201d Also featured are videos, her blog and the latest news, (the site averages three new pieces of content daily). Much of the content speaks to her take on issues\u2014even though she was the only candidate with no dedicated issue section until late May 2007.<\/p>\n\n

As someone who was left out of all the Presidential debates by cable news channels, much of the focus of John Cox\u2019s Web site is to establish first, his identity and second, his credibility. A picture of him dominates the upper half of the home page, followed by a video of a television interview in New Hampshire headlined, \u201cThe Man Who Wasn\u2019t There: Candidate for President.\u201d Overall, the Web site remains pretty static day-to-day with only infrequent updates. Cox is also one of only two candidates who do not participate in the world of social networking. <\/p>\n\n

In May, Chris Dodd\u2019s campaign Web site seemed technologically undernourished. By the end of the month, his campaign must have come to the same conclusion. In a late May redesign, his blog became much more active (going from an average of less than one post a day to over three), he added video and became more active on the social networking circuit. It now emphasizes video and how to join the \u201cDodd Squad.\u201d With the redesign, however, the site, done in the most typical red, white and blue, also dropped some features, including Spanish language translation of content.<\/p>\n\n

The action continues with a vast \u201cMultimedia\u201d section including video, audio, podcasts, photos and more as well as a \u201cTake Action\u201d menu item with 13 separate ways to get involved and links to 23 social networks sites. The site also stands out for forgoing the usual red, white and blue pattern. Here, the national colors are combined with yellows and greens. <\/p>\n\n

Jim Gilmore\u2019s Web site lacks some of the sophistication that defines the Web sites of the leaders in the polls. Users are immediately greeted by a video introducing the candidate seated at a desk, \u201cI\u2019m Jim Gilmore, former governor of Virginia\u2026.\u201d He updated the site in early June to add more interactive and customizable features like offering users the chance to create their own blogs, joining and creating online community groups and fundraising. But overall, the site is primarily comprised of more traditional text features like news and blog post headlines. <\/p>\n\n

JoinRudy2008 is direct and to-the-point. Easy to navigate, a large lead content piece usually features a video screen-shot with a picture of \u201cRudy\u201d (the last name isn\u2019t promoted) displayed prominently. There are many ways users can get involved in the campaign, though interaction through the Web site is less of an emphasis. The site does not promote his MySpace page and doesn\u2019t allow users to participate in the exchange on his blog. But uniquely it does encourage supporters to call in to talk radio stations and he even offers a database of local station contacts. Users can also sign up for a \u201clive feed\u201d of recent campaign news, press releases and blog posts. The site also brands all content pieces with icons that identify the content type (for example, a heart to volunteer and an envelope to raise money) and a store where you can buy \u2018Rudy Gear.\u2019<\/p>\n\n

The centerpiece of Mike Gravel\u2019s Web site is a smiling picture of the Senator next to six statements on \u201cissues,\u201d ranging from a withdrawal of troops from Iraq to universal health care vouchers. Overall, his site is heavier on text and shorter on easy-to-navigate icons and graphics, but it offers some notable exceptions. Gravel\u2019s site is one of few to offer podcasts. It also engages visitors in a unique, continuously updated political \u201cpoll\u201d at the bottom of the page. And the middle of the homepage offers these words from Thomas Jefferson: \u201cEach generation has a right to choose for itself the form of government it believes most promotive of its happiness.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

The only individual in the study whose candidacy is still in the exploratory stage, Mike Huckabee\u2019s Web site is spartan in its layout and content. There is no top menu bar, and instead, a nearly screen-size image of the candidate looms in the center of the homepage, flanked by two sidebars that contain links to the other components of his site\u2014including his blog, stand on key issues and a biography of him and his wife. He is the only candidate to offer no links to mainstream media and one of the few with no social networks highlighted. <\/p>\n\n

Like those of other candidates trailing in the polls, Hunter\u2019s site has few frills, essentially functioning as a way to build his base and get his position across. His lead item (\u2018latest news\u2019) is always an opinion poll that reflects his stance on an issue and asks visitors to vote for or against his stance. His three key issues are also upfront, as is an endorsement from legendary test pilot Gen. Chuck Yeager. Other than that, the home page is dominated by ways to get people involved\u2014with appeals for contributions leading the pack (indeed, donating money to Hunter qualifies you to be an \u201ceDonor Leader\u201d). Hunter distinguishes himself as the one candidate Web site that doesn\u2019t have RSS.<\/p>\n\n

Kucinich\u2019s site is aiming for substance over style. Text heavy, with minimal graphics\/visuals, the home page displays all new content chronologically down the middle \u2013 almost blog like. Flanking this main column on either side are ways to contribute and state-level campaign efforts (using a very crude map). One of four candidates who doesn\u2019t have a blog, he instead boasts an active, if confusing, \u201cforum\u201d \u2013 a virtual town hall where visitors can discuss issues at will. Kucinich does, however, make the most of YouTube and has one of the most exhaustive issue sections (covering 91 topics in all).<\/p>\n\n

Video plays a heavy role on the front page, and has its own well-organized \u201cMultimedia\u201d archive. Also highlighted is a slideshow of stories from the campaign trail, his \u201cStraight Talk Express.\u201d McCain\u2019s web campaign staff seems to be increasing the number of ways to get voters engaged. Between May and June 2007, several citizen-centric sections were added including \u201cInvolving You,\u201d \u201cJohn McCain Supporter Spotlight\u201d and a poll, as well as information on how to register to vote.<\/p>\n\n

Governor Richardson\u2019s site stresses outreach and image-building. The home page is split between the many ways to get involved (volunteering, social networking, attending speeches) and the many things the candidate is up to (in the form of video, news or blog posts). Richardson confirmed his foray into the presidential race on May 21, 2007 and his site saw a consequent makeover. By June, he had added new sections (Multimedia, for one), energized his blog by allowing comments, allowed for user customization of the page and changed the color scheme from dark red to a more \u2018patriotic\u2019 blue Star – Spangled Banner look. <\/p>\n\n

An image of the ex-governor speaking as a flag waves behind him, along with a stirring quote, dominates Mitt Romney\u2019s Web site. Romney manages to combine family values, technology and lots of positive imagery in a clean and casual Web site. The informal feel of the site is seen in the bio section titled, \u201cLearn about Mitt,\u201d the campaign which is branded \u201cTeam Mitt\u201d and his campaign blog \u201cFive Brothers\u201d which is authored by Romney\u2019s five sons rather than staff or any professional. Where Romney stands out is his use of video\u2014apart from relying on YouTube (which he links to), the site has its own extensive streaming video channel, \u201cMitt TV,\u201d that is subdivided into categories like issues, the trail and even, \u201cfun.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

Tom Tancredo\u2019s site is clearly laid out to emphasize one, who he is and two, where he stands on key issues\u2014especially illegal immigration, which gets its own menu-section. Dominating the home page is a large picture of Tancredo accompanying the \u201clead\u201d story that could be either a recent campaign event or an issue statement. Options for involvement are limited to appeals for donation and e-mail alerts. His blog is tucked away on a tab at the top of the page, and it\u2019s here that you find links to social networks. Tancredo offers a branded video channel, \u201cTom TV,\u201d that streams selections of mainstream media appearances. <\/p>\n\n

Another no frills site, Tommy Thompson\u2019s site seems, instead, to be focusing on establishing his identity. The home page is dominated with an image of him along with the campaign theme of him being a \u201creliable conservative\u201d who has \u201cproven common sense leadership\u201d and a profile of his appears just below. In terms of features, the campaign Web site stands out more for what it lacks than what\u2019s present. With no video, no blogs of any sort and only the minimal delivery options, Thompson\u2019s site scores low on both on-demand access and voter engagement. <\/p>\n\n
