One political party highlights its candidate several times on the same page, while the other party seems to completely ignore its candidate even though the elections are not decided yet.
Jonathan Stein of
Mother Jones found this huge disparity in the Democratic and Republican parties.
The Democrats highlight Barack Obama on their front page of
Democrats.org and urge their party members to campaign and vote for him. They provide useful links for voting, donations and news snippets of Obama.
The Republican National Committee (RNC), on the other hand, seems to omit both McCain and Palin in their front page in
GOP.com. Actually, there are more Obama photos and articles about Obama than about its main candidate McCain. There is a link for McCain’s campaign store and an outdated link to volunteer for McCain but there is no mention about the current elections. Fred Thompson, who lost badly in the Republican primaries, got more billing than McCain.
Here are the screenshots from the front pages of both parties:
