Obama vs. McCain I

This week was important and exciting for the USA: Barry finally clinched the nomination.  I couldn’t be more pleased with the choices for POTUS this year, especially when you consider who else was running 6 months (or even a week) ago.

I will continue to support Barry for a variety of reasons which I may touch upon here and there during the general election season.  The first reason is a distinct difference between the candidates that several of my colleagues will appreciate: barackobama.com utilizes standards-based markup with near-valid xhtml and CSS positioning. Naturally, johnmccain.com uses the – ahem – old practice of table-based layouts with little thought to accessibility and web standards.
