McCainpedia.org is a wiki run by the DNC's Research, Communications, and Internet teams. The goal is to centralize research material, allowing the general public to use it as they see fit. Unlike some wikis, McCainpedia is read-only and can't be edited by the public. This allows us to fully validate all of the information that appears, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
McCainpedia follows FlipperTV, which puts video taken by Democratic "trackers" of John McCain as he campaigns across the country, and allows users to watch, download, and use the footage as they wish. FlipperTV has now been incorporated into McCainpedia alongside all of the research information.
Looks like the left is getting (gasp) somewhat organized, especially on the offense, something they have been decidedly lacking.
The right has had solid marching orders and talking points for, oh, ten to fifteen years or so. GOPers and conservatives cook up talking points, distribute them en masse, and let proxies like talk-radio hosts pick them up, then mindlessly and endlessly parrot them as dogma and gospel for the faithful.
Submitted for what it is worth. Righties have just had their jobs made a LOT harder in making the case for McCain or any other future candidate for the GOP, because all sorts of ready-made stuff for mass distribution and discussion will be made instantly available.
I see this as one of the outgrowths of Obama's campaign. It has attracted a lot of energized and saavy young people to the Democratic party.
