The Worst Political Websites

CNET has a great article today detailing the worst political campaign sites on the web. The list mostly focuses mostly on calling out the bizarre elements of sites for obscure House candidates. 

But the piece also points out a personal pet peeve of mine: campaign blogs with zero content.   Here's a sample from the site of Congressmen Jay Inslee, a Dem Congressman from Washington.

Remember, it's better to not blog at all than to do so badly (or in this case to launch a blog you don't even make an attempt to update).

He’s willing to pay lip service to environmental concerns. He plays the the outsider card and the nonpartisan cards well. He doesn’t avoid touting his business experience (which is most of what he has), but parlays it well into how it would help him as a Congressman (it’s an international business, and he speaks three languages).
