John McCain Launches Assault on Sensibility, Web 2.0

On a presidential campaign's website, one might expect sections on the candidate's policies and platforms, a bio and some photos, resources for the news media, and a big 'ole link to donate. On John McCain's website, there is also a prominent link for "Golf Gear." The website Talking Points Memo noted this oddity last week. Even more interesting, of course, because it came after news that President Bush had given up golf as a sign of his respect for the troops. That, and the stinging accusations against Obama, propped up by Hillary Clinton, that he was an elitist. But never mind all that: McCain wanted his voters to show their support by picking up a $50 "golf pack."

By yesterday, McCain's homepage changed. The tab for "Decision Center" got moved around, while "General Election," and "Obama & Iraq" were replaced by "Creating Jobs" and "Strategy." Still holding down the fort? "Golf Gear."
