Have you ever compared Clinton's and Obama's websites?
Advertisements [?]
They are both filled with the types of things you'd expect - how to volunteer, how to buy their merchandise, policies and stands on issues, biographical info, etc.

The big difference is the additional negativity found all over Clinton's site. Just like the difference between the two campaigns and the two candidates, it's startling.

First there's the "Attack Timeline" - a linear timeline of "attacks" by Obama on poor poor Clinton:

And what would you expect a "Fact Hub" to be on any candidate's site? Facts about that candidate, right? Well, probably on most candidates' sites that's exactly what it would be - but on Clinton's site, it's all about Obama!

Another interesting page is the "Delegate Hub." A very very curious addition in my opinion, but ok, let's go with it - it must be about delegates, right? Nope, it's about....you guessed it, Obama!

Stroll on over to the press release section - about half are about Obama!

There is indeed a "Fact Check" section on Obama's website that sets the story straight on the Clinton campaign's lies, but that's the only section of its kind.

Why is Clinton so negative and why is she seemingly obsessed with Obama? I know he's her competition, but the level of focus on Obama is odd.

Just a quick look at the two websites is a perfect summation of the differences between the two candidates. One is negative and antagonistic, the other is positive and confident. One looks to criticize, the other looks to move forward and upward.

'Nuff said.
