I'll begin an occasional series of posts monitoring how much blogging and its successors (I'm sure there is already one out there , we just don't know its name) will impact the US presidential election of 2008.

Barack Obama has already turned his website into a . The front page gives anyone who accesses the site a feeling of being part of 'the movement' the moment they pull it up.

Hillary Clinton's site looks more traditional (on the Internet, something more than six monts old becomes a tradition) with more attention to layout than interactivity. But there is a blog button, where you read:

"Soon we'll launch the official blog of HillaryClinton.com, a crucial part of our exciting national conversation about the direction of our country..."

John McCain has hired some websavvy help too, it seems - his site offers:
The ability to create a MyMcCain personal website
The ability to customize the appearance of this website (coming soon)

I'll check other candidates as I have time.

And tell me if you think it's all fluff or serious online democracy.
