Political Google Bomb

I'm Googlebombing the important races.

See here for why, and here for his House list. See here for JG's Senate list. Jump on the bandwagon, if you want the Dems to win. They're the lesser of two evils, in my book.

Hmmm...

Do you really think that Googlebonging...I mean bombing is going to change anyone's mind as to who they vote for?

Well if you read the reason why I linked to, he pointed out something I think is valid -- people who do searches for the candidates' names before the election to do research will be likely to click one of the top-referenced articles and read it first.

If the article points out the bad ideas/actions/positions of the candidate, it will likely influence them negatively; whereas if they click on some pro-GOP site, eg FoxNews, then vice versa.

It's not likely to affect millions, but possibly thousands, and at least hundreds, who do their election research mostly via internet close in to the election.

Will it absolutely change their minds? Probably not. But swing voters will probably be influenced by reading about the crap people have done instead of glowing sycophantic puff-pieces.
