Back in March I announced a new project, obamasresume.org. The point of the project was to demonstrate that Obama’s experience was significant, relevant, and impressive. There were a lot of assertions that Clinton was far more experienced than Obama, and I wanted to help set the record straight a little.
The site didn’t get fleshed out nearly as much as I thought it would, both because I had anticipated having more time to contribute to the wiki, and because I thought I would get far more user contributions. (Strangely, more than half of the people who registered for an account made no changes to the wiki.)
Now that Obama is the Democratic nominee, the primary purpose of the site is no longer there. I don’t think many people comparing Obama to McCain will be worried about Obama’s level of experience, and if they are considering McCain in the first place, then Obama’s reformist resume will probably turn them off anyway. (oh wait, McCain used to stand for campaign finance reform… I guess that’s over with).
Anyway, I’m tempted to just take it down. I don’t have time to contribute to it, and no one else seems to either. It’s the first hit on Google for “Obama’s Resume”, which is a good and bad thing. Good because, in theory it is being found very quickly by exactly the people who would be looking for it, bad because there isn’t much useful info on there.
What do you, dear reader, think I should do with the site? Leave it? Hype it more? Take it down?
Anyone want to take it over?
do not take it down!
people are comparing Obama with Mcain , now.
Mom is totally right - Mcain’s military and other experience vs. Obama’s is going to be a huge (if not the) issue. I hope you can find someone to maintain the site.
I agree with the rest of the family. Someone else should take on this project so it can be a worthy first hit.
few days ago, I read Robert Blechman’s blog from John’s blog, he’s saying Mcain running for president is a farce. Republicans know they’re not going to win this year ….
So , if you believe that, which I do; this professor is the master of knowledge !
just go and vote, and keep the flame alive until then, no need for struggle anymore.
