News From the World of Texas Online Politics

The Kinkster has a new Web site - perhaps the only male candidate in the world who could pull off a pink color scheme in Texas. While I like the new site's color scheme, and think it's a pretty decent site, I have a few beefs:

• The contribution page still has Kinky's old design up making it look like you're leaving the site to make a contribution. Donors get a little freaked when you pull stuff like that.
  
• The Forum and Online Store have the same problem. And what's the difference between the forum and the blog anyway? Aren't those basically the same thing?
• The video on the homepage is only available in one size and one format (Windows Media). Isn't Kinky supposed to be independent? How about some love for Mac users?
• And finally, the email I got announcing Kinky's new site said this:

1) Contribute: As Kinky says, "A journey of a thousand miles always starts with a cash advance." We hired the best in the business, now we gotta pay 'em.

3) Tell your friends about the campaign using our form.

3) Collect names: Find out who else wants Kinky on the ballot and sign 'em up. Download the Lone Star Pledge kit and start signing people up today!

For a candidate that might face some tough questions about whether or not he's qualified to serve as Guv, it might help if he could count to three.

In related news, Kinky has brought on former Nader, Ventura, and Wellstone consultant Bill Hillsman to do his ads.
