MSNBC.com’s Rate the Candidates
Cory Bergman May 15th, 2007
Prior to the latest Republican debate last night, MSNBC.com rolled out a new interactive called “Rate the Candidates” that allowed you to watch video clips of the Republicans and vote whether you had a positive or negative response. Then after the debate, you can vote again, this time with the clips from the Fox News debate. After submitting your results, you can compare the before and after votes. Very slick.

Here’s a political/web question: What’s everyone’s thoughts of the Ron Paul web boom?
For those who have no clue what I’m talking about: He’s the Republican Presidential candidate that’s anti-war and somewhat libertarian.
The guy’s polling nowhere in national polls but HUGE on the net. He’s all over digg, technorati, and youtube.
Is it just savvy fans or an actual underground internet thing?

Paul – Honestly, I think Ron Paul’s campaign is more prominent on the internet by design. Realizing he would not be a media proclaimed top tier candidate, the group had to utilize what was available. I believe though, if the major media groups begin to tell the public to give Ron Paul a serious look, we will only see an increase in internet coverage.
I listened to his message, and it sounded pretty good. So I researched his positions and his history as a public servant; his record seems to be without blemish - he is quite a rarity in politics.
He definitely has my attention.
