So, you're an Internet-based organization, huh?
When researching the prior post, I made a startling discovery: MoveOn's website is a piece of crap. I was just trying to find out whichspecific House races the WSJ reporter was referring to, and I had a hell of a time figuring it out (in the end, I gave up trying to find out which Colorado race they're involved in). Virtually every link just goes to a donation form.
The DCCC website looks terrible in Firefox, but at least they put their actual candidates front and center.
This has always been my problem with MoveOn: Long on ambition, really, really short on execution. Ten years ago, that was the problem with private-sector Internet startups, and after myriad failures, many of them ultimately got their acts together as businesses. Hopefully that will happen with political organizations on the Internet too--and soon.
