The Detroit Free Press has a feature on the campaign web sites of Governor Granholm and challenger Dick DeVos that you may want to check out.
TV advertising is still the name of the game for communication in the gubernatorial race. Do the campaigns think they can forsake the tube and go entirely the Web route? No way. But campaign Web sites ... can do things television can't. And the campaigns know it.
Read On the trail, on the Web in the Freep and visit GranholmforGov.com and DeVosforGovernor.com.
The traffic ranking service Alexa finds that Dick DeVos has the more popular web site. While we're at it, we might as well have a Google Fight between Granholm & DeVos. Granholm takes that one. I guess for the tie-breaker we'll invite our readers to post their favorite candidate (or at least their favorite candidate web site).

I think Granholm's site is the better of the two, mainly because positive and encouraging words emanate from the front page right off the bat. Granholm's "truth squad" page is far more creative than DeVos' "Ad check".
I like that Granholm herself pops up and greets the visitors. Good Job!
That is a neat effect. One of my quibbles with the DeVos site is that there are very few pictures of the candidate on the site. Seems pretty impersonal.
Very impersonal, I agree. On a separate but related note, I just read that Granholm will be taking questions live on Daily Kos on Wednesday morning at 11:15am(EST).
I should be able to make it. See ya! Oh yeah, the information is at http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/9/12/151934/528
