MarkUdall.com Goes To War

  • 8 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

If you’ve checked out Senate candidate Mark Udall’s website in the last week, you’ll see it’s been updated to slam opponent Bob Schaffer on the economy right from the splash page:

Across America — it’s an economic crisis.

In Colorado — middle-class families are squeezed to the breaking point.

And the failed economic policies of George Bush and Bob Schaffer are a big reason for the mess.

Schaffer voted for billions in special tax breaks for corporations that ship American jobs overseas.

Schaffer wants billions more in tax giveaways for big oil companies.

And Bob Schaffer voted to protect the pensions of corporate CEOs-even when those executives falsify their companies’ financial documents.

Like a good campaign commercial, except cheaper. More effective for Udall than for Schaffer to turn his website into an effective attack vehicle too, given that both major web traffic ranking services, Alexa and Quantcast, show Udall’s site getting many times the traffic of Schaffer’s.

Alexa rankings (lower=better):

markudall.com: 306,121

bobschafferforsenate.com: 1,504,580

Quantcast rankings (higher=better):

markudall.com: 8,545 US people per month

bobschafferforsenate.com: 2,957 US people per month

A poll follows.

Who has the better website?

  1. But I really like how Udall’s site uses some of the same devices as Obama’s. I’m not a Udall campaign insider, so I don’t know if this was intentional.

    It all depends on how November 4th goes, but if I was a campaign manager for a future race, I would seriously consider using that format for a campaign site.  

    1. Probably not that big of a coincidence as most websites are at least on some level from a template.  It saves on the cost of hiring someone to develop it for you.

      1. I was more referring to the ability to write blogs, contact other voters, figure out how to volunteer, and donate money. Those tools are critical uses of the internet in campaigning. Both Obama and Udall have used the web far more effectively than their GOP counterparts.
