DEMOCRATIC & GOP CONVENTION WEB SITES: MYSPACE VERSUS FACEBOOK?

It may be true that the two major political parties in America only reflect one another's inability to address the pressing issues facing USA. But you won't nessesarily find their similarities reflected in their convention web sites:

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

In our opinion, the Republican web site is far superior to the Democratic one in presentation, design and aesthetics. What does that tell you about the differences of the two parties?

Notice the website lacks any large photographs of Republican leaders and instead it glorifies the country and the flag. Not that they have any gems that are being hidden; why would anyone in their right mind want to remind the people of Bush, Condolleeza Rice or even McCain hinself? So instead of relying on cool leaders, Republicans are relying on cool design. Whereas Democrats who have stars like Edward Kennedy, Bill Clinton and Obama have to tone down the design and let their stars be the design.

So in this twisted picture, Republicans must have opted for an art directed, myspace customized rock'n roll look for their convention web site but democrats chose the faceless Facebook look of dry and scientific objectivity. 

It would be interesting to see which one of these two interfaces can really touch the voters in America.
