I don't know how many times I've read some reader comment that tries to justify some kind of position by saying "Obama/Hillary has no plan for (insert issue here), and until they state their plan they have nothing to stand on." It is the height of ignorance to think that any of the three candidates would be where they are right now without having a highly detailed platform laid out. To suggest otherwise just makes you look like a complete dumb-ass, too put it in basic terms.

I don't think it's against the law, or disloyal to your candidate, to actually take a look at what their opponents' positions are. If you want to sound like you know what you are talking about, check out their plans for the economy, Iraq, education, etc...and compare.

I also find it interesting to just compare the actual layout of the websites, the visual appeal, organization, ease of use. If you are getting tired of levelling pointless insults at the other readers, take a turn at savaging the candidates websites (or their actual positions!).

As far as visual appeal and clarity or layout, I give Obama.com an "A", Hillary's a "B", and McCain's a "D" (it looks like where you go to join the Army, I'm afraid to click on any links out of fear of where I might be renditioned to).
