Summer of Digital Campaigning at Georgetown

Red Blogs & Blue Blogs – Day 4

If there were similarites over the four days of blog comparison, I sure didn’t see them…

 

Townhall.com took a look at Barack Obama today in several postings.  Two of these deal with his current struggles to find a VP vetting team.  Another article goes to great lengths to defend the Obama candidacy in the face of rumors that have plagued his campaign recently: Michelle Obama’s alleged use of the word “whitey” in a speech at their former church and the accusation that Obama is a secret Muslim intent on the destruction of America.

 

Daily Kos was another story.  I could barely get through the rants of the posts, much less the reader comments, to figure out what was being said.  From what I could gather, the general sentiments were along the lines of:  the GOP is an “embarrassing failure,” John McCain is a gozillion years old (apparently his birth certificate was found in a cave and is written in a language that, according to dailykos.com, has been dead for 1,900 years – yet somehow they managed to translate it – so witty and humorous over there at dailykos.com), and George Bush has single handedly managed to wreck the US economy.  This goes beyond the definition of “politics.”
