I think that Keith’s website is not only an example of the type of ingenuity and professionalism he will bring to the office, but also demonstrates his ability to communicate well with constituents and voters.

Connolly hates bloggers, and his inability to relate with voters really shows on his site.

From what I hear, the Fimian campaign built their website to reduce their paper consumption by at least 50% (what can the Connolly campaign say about the environment now??).

I have never seen a congressional, senatorial, or gubernatorial campaign put so much thought and effort into a coordinated internet strategy…so forget it being the best in VA Politics – how about about national politics.

If it does (and I’m not sure I see that visually), then he’s aiming high. Obama has the best political web presentation this country has ever seen, in the opinion of this observer.

Fimian has a better website than Connolly (actually the most advanced site I’ve seen in Virginia politics so far)

Is it just me, or does his (Fimian’s) site look remarkably like Obama’s? Sure, a lot of campaign websites tend to look similar, but the font choices, visual styling, and other cues all seem very similar. Not that that’s a bad thing, as you could certainly do far worse.
