A Technical Critique of US Presidential Campaign Websites

[ via Michael Rawdon ] The funniest part of the debate season was when Forbes tore into McCain(?) on the usablity of his Web site. I can imagine his staffers cramming him on Nielsen and Tog. But the truth is, like every other commercial web site out there, the sites of the presidential candidates are not sterling examples of Web software engineering. Bob Crispen did some digging into the sites and found that besides the invalid HTML, people are running a mix of servers. Bush, ever the tool of The Man, serves off of NT. Gore serves off Linux (no word on the site as to if he claims to have invented it.)
