Interesting points, TroyJMorris. For brevity, I didn't mention why 800x600 is important, but you've hit the nail on the head there. I'm not sure what the deal with McCain's color scheme is either. Maybe he's trying to seem more businesslike, or just different from everyone else (everyone uses red or blue after all).

I would like to have scene some more analysis. Not only design wise, but intent wise.For instance:Huckabee’s site is in at 800×600 compatibility, probably because he’s aiming for older voters who have their displays at 800×600.Clinton’s site is heavy on donations, as is Ron Pauls showing what the candidates feel are important, while Kuccinich’s banner is the Constitution.Color use is key. Obama’s is blue, the color of the democrats, while I’m unsure of why McCain is still using black as that was 7 years ago… perhaps “classic?”

Interesting post. What I would really like to see is a presidential candidate to have a go at having a real blog, that would be interesting. (would be nice to have links to the site on this page.best, Tejvannetwriting.co.uk
