MARKETING POLITICS

There's no question that the Internet has provided an unparalleled medium for marketing the McCain and Obama campaigns. For one, anyone who is interested can easily go to JohnMcCain.com or BarackObama.com and see what the candidates want them to see. For those who don't know the URLs, a simple Google search for either candidate's name will bring you their official website at the top of the results.
