checking out the opposition, and
I was surfing the net, and happened across an ad for a McCain-Palin site.

I figured I might as well check out hat they were up to, so I clicked on it.

Interestingly, the only way that one could do anything for their campaign, at least on that site was to contribute money.

There was no way to offer to work a phone bank, or make visits to potential voters, or help drive voters to the polls or anything remotely like that.

You could contribute money, or click off, and that was it.

I found that encouraging, and hope that potential Republican volunteers find it discouraging.
