I looked into whether the 2008 presidential candidates websites are "still alive", and here is what I found:
John McCain... all his website posts is a farewell message and thanks from all his supporters.
Hillary Clinton... ahh, classic. Clinton's website posts a BRIEF quote and asks you to contribute to a "clean-up fund" - wow...
Barack Obama & Joe Biden... here we also don't see much. A brief thank-you, a plead for a donation and the selling of Obama 08 t-shirts, again... interesting.
Perhaps if we searched the candidates' websites in December or so there would have been more there, but as we reach the end of February, these websites are pretty much non-operational.
Here is an article that discuss the 2008 election and the Internet: Election 2008: The Internet Campaign. Many people don't know how to respond to this new phenomenon. Internet-savvy users love it, yet the ones who are not to high-tech may not appreciate or understand it very well. I am one of those people in the middle, I don't rely solely on the internet for my news, I am more of a talk radio gal.
