I really dislike seeing this kind of rederic on a professional sites, though I thought it was professional. It looks like WebPro News is getting in the poitical arena. Keep with what you do best, and not let this kind of political bias be displayed on your site.

Jason, it seems to me that you're making the same mistakes the adbots on my blog page do in your analysis - they assume that every mention of a politician's name on the Internet is favorable.

Example: when the blogosphere was gunned up against John Kerry in 2004, Kerry's own campaign was buying ads on many of the blogs that were cooking him over a slow fire.  The software just saw the word "Kerry" in sentences like "John Kerry sleeps with poodles" and bought ads on the blog in question.  It was great - George Soros's megabucks were subsidizing the pajama media's blitz against his own bought-and-paid-for candidate. 

Before the DNC recoiled in horror at what was happening (eventually someone must have overridden the software, because Kerry ads stopped appearing over many anti-Kerry blogs), it was a good bet that more of their money was spent on blogs that were against Kerry than supporting him.

And today, the same thing is happening.  Obama's people are way out-numbered on the Internet, so the 3-to-1 edge Obama enjoys in political fundraising (because the big lobbying firms are sincerely thanking him for helping get class action suits against them moved into the over-burdened Federal court system with lots of folding green applause) is largely offset by the sheer amount of that money spent on automated ads which appear on every blog that mentions the name "Obama," even though most of them are saying "Obama is a crook" in various and sundry ways.

Software that can discriminate between laudatory and derogatory language in blogs is probably beyond current technology except in the simplest of cases (like the example I just used),  Politicians may just have to stop being crooks if they don't want their own campaign funds spent on Internet sites dedicated to bringing the fact to light.

AND THE WINNER IS:

Everyone but the American People - I have to agree with those that say that webpronews is not the place for this kind of commentary -- I use it to find out what's going on in webspace --- I say cease and desist.

If you are an advocate of change --- see how much you have left when Mr. 143 days of experience Obama gets done with your pockets........

It takes exactly 2 minutes looking at the source code on McCain's website to see why his site doesn't perform in the SERPs. It looks like it was coded in 1999. This is some of the worst site code I've ever seen, and I've been a professional developer for 13 years.

Almost all links are generated with Javascript so may not even be spider-able, images all over the place instead of text links, code to content is atrocious, duplicated INLINE CSS everywhere, you name it .... just about every rule for modern web development has been broken.

It's a wonder it shows up at all.

I have to say I am shocked that a pro Obama article was put on web pro news...I am sure if one of us wanted to talk about McCain that would never be posted here.

I am highly tempted to never come back to web pro news because they have not only insulted me, but allowed negative, immature comments to be placed on the site. What does this have to do with the web?

For the uneducated person that said Republicans or those that love the Bible have the mentality of a slug, most republicans I know are far more educated than the democrats working at Starbucks that just listen to people say Obama is the choice and follow along.

There is more in play here than a simply not liking a President because he believes in God. We need a President that has what it takes to protect our children and our families. Bush has done that. He has put enormous amounts of money in the schools to prepare for a potential attack. They attacked the Beslan school and they would attack here if they could. The FBI has tons of places they want to hit. Hasn't happened, but I guarantee you that if Obama gets in the attacks will come in floods. America will not be America anymore...enjoy the freedom and safety you have under Bush as long as it lasts...If Obama gets in your life is going to turn into a living hell. Of course, the Bible says that will happen...so I guess us Bible thumpers are prepared.

I wish both candidates all the best. but either one has no specific answer how  they are going to bring this great nation back up excapt their mantras!

To air your political views on a business forum is so unprofessional, I am blocking you from my email.  I am a regular contributor to the WebProWorld forum (WebProWorld Veteran), and in 2 years I have never seen this type of unprofessional behavior, perhaps as they are deleted by the moderators.  You should be deleted by your employer.

What is it with Americans and taxes? Why do so many of them object so much to federal income tax? Personally I am delighted to pay income tax. It is the fairest way to make sure that the poorest members of society are looked after.

In Australia it is our taxes that pay for hospitals, schools, roads, defence and primary services - the stuff that you just dont want private enterprise messing with - because the private sector isnt caring or socially responsible.

And I have read a few comments from people who think fuel should be cheaper ... OMG, you morons. If you want to reduce dependece on something you do NOT increase its availability. And anyhow, how is a government going to reduce the price? Please, just let fuel find its own price, and then try to help those who are most disadvantaged.

Hopefully Obama WILL radically change the American way of life - thats exactly what is needed.

Whats wrong with government health care? When it comes to health, do you really want  profit to be a factor? NO, this is one area that a government should definitely be in firm control. And its a topic that Americans historically seem to be particularly brain dead on.

Right now, I really dont care that much about what happens to the USA. If so many Americans are so retarded and uncaring for their fellow citizens, (as many comments in this thread would suggest), then the only hope for the country is in future generations - invest in education, and wait 30 years... but the planet doesnt have 30 years... hmm

Thanks for the opportunity to vent.

"Searching for NExt President?"

Me too... LOL . But seriously....what is the world coming to when you have a choice bewtween Ombama who stands up for Jesse Jackson who is a white racist (racist against whites). or McCain who is another George Bush that can not be trusted & will do what he wants, not what the people want. America America America what is it coing too? OH that's right the world has to self-destruct itself for the end to come.We are on our way there, But back to the president guess I will have to vote for an independant again this year. Too bad others won't wake up & do the same. Independants are more like real people from the neighborhood, not all these fake lying politicians, So As for me McCain or Obama niether!!!! NOt hanks. Another thing that gets me is that alot of women want to vote for him becasue they say he is cute, how stupid is that? America needs to wake up! God Bless America? Please.... God can not or will not Bless America, America is cursed. THere is no longer prayer in school thanks to Aclu & stupi parents, there is nother spnakings thanks to cps letting kids act like idiots &/or putt parent sin jail & kids in foster care, there is no longer true court with prayer & innocent until proven guily, you are guilyt until proven innocent if you can afford it, if you have felonies, you can not vote in many states nor own guns to defend yourself, only the cops & goverment, church is no longer on the Sabbath (Saturday), peole eat pork (pig) which is an abomination to God, the same abomination the Antichrist will use to defile the temple once the Jews rebuild it (which means it is still unclean), the farm land or most no longer rest 7years, and the elections are rigged. It is no longer every persons vote counts as a single vote for whom they choice, they use delegates & they pick who they like more, and it is rigged. Everybody that wants to run should be alble to run without costing millions of dollars & 2 winners from each state should compete in anational election that is counted vote for vote not riggers by delegates & the ruplican & democratic conventions, and computers. So happy fouth of JUly, but we are no longer really free.
