Web sites play big role in Wisconsin candidates' campaigns for governor

Link to January 24 Appleton Post-Crescent report.

Excerpt: Tom Barrett's campaign Web site really stands out — for what it lacks.

Two months after the Democratic Milwaukee mayor joined the governor's race, after weeks of pressure from the White House and others in the party, Barrett's campaign Web site remains bare bones. The pedestrian site includes only a picture of Barrett and links to sign up for updates, to volunteer and, of course, to donate money.

Contrast that with the two most prominent Republican candidates, and even a dark horse newcomer, all of whom have flashy sites complete with biographies, videos, position papers and other bells and whistles.

See for yourself.
