Opinions needed for campaign website

Radar • Dec 15, 2005 1:21 am
I'm getting a pre-fab campaign website and they have several different templates to choose from. I'd like some opinions from you guys. There are many to choose from. Here's a few I think look ok for a Libertarian campaign...

http://www.campaignsitebuilder.com/templates/displayfiles/tmpl18.asp?Trial=false&SiteID=887&PageID=13234

http://www.campaignsitebuilder.com/templates/displayfiles/tmpl23.asp?Trial=false&SiteID=887&PageID=13234

If you change the number next to the "tmpl" part of the address, you can see all the different choices.

Please let me know what you think. Your input would be very helpful. Thanks.

the first one, with the angular lines and the red background.

Yeah, The first one.

Don't worry, I'm already know my chances of actually winning are nil. I have no fantasies that I could win unless Maxine Waters chose not to run and neither did a Republican.

What I want is to get libertarian ideas out there, and one way is to have a professional looking and eye catching website.

I like the first one slightly better than the others. I like the capitol building on the right side of the banner. It shows your goal. Nice touch.

No offense or anything but while I think you have a backbone of steel and a will of iron, I think you would make a better resistance fighter than you would a politician.

Folks with your disposition are better suited, I think, to changing things from the outside. Not that I would like to see you fail - quite the contrary. I just think you are going to be sorely disappointed if you win when you learn that the only way to get anything done is to stop trying to do anything.

But, having said that, I like the first one. Its got more fire in it. That suits you.

B, don't play into his fantasy by suggesting that he could win. That's cruel.

I like Number three. I am heartily sick of the [COLOR=Red]RED RED RED[/COLOR] shouting at me from the republican side of the aisle. I dunno, maybe you're a shrill fearmonger, and you want to use the color of blood to symbolize your "passion". Disclaimer: I am a Democrat, since WA requires party affiliation to vote in the freakin primary (don't get me started), but I would vote and have voted across party lines if I thought the candidate was the better choice. I'm just sick of all the red. [/disclaimer]

Also, your slogan is missing a period after "Prosperity".

Good luck, sir.

Good Luck!!!

From flash intro:

"...a beacon of hope...prosperity to oppressed people everywhere."

Please correct at once.

I told you grammar counts. :)

You beat me to the grammar thing.

And you could get the flash to hang longer or make it a click through. I blew right by it in firefox.

Not keen on the red either. You ain't no commie like Bush. Keep hammering the windmills brother. It needs to be done.
