Why not? The music industry has been paying bloggers to hype certian acts for years.

Vote McCain! At least he’s not moslem.

Wait, is this web site on the list? How many more times do I have to do this before I win something?

The McCain Campaign would have to pay out a lot more bloggers if anti-Obama posts counted towards booty.

“Astroturf” is a good nickname for Obama. Looks good on the surface ....... but phony as hell.

Equal time...

Punk the prez? - Moby's anti-Bush tricks (Beware of the Moby Dicks) (New York Daily News 2/09/04 Rush & Molloy)

One of Sen. John Kerry's celebrity supporters is ready to pull out all the stops to get him elected. Republicans are shrieking over a suggestion by rocker Moby that Democrats spread gossip about President Bush on the Internet. "No one's talking about how to keep the other side home on Election Day," Moby tells us. "It's a lot easier than you think and it doesn't cost that much. This election can be won by 200,000 votes."

Moby suggests that it's possible to seed doubt among Bush's far-right supporters on the Web.

"You target his natural constituencies," says the Grammy-nominated techno-wizard. "For example, you can go on all the pro-life chat rooms and say you're an outraged right-wing voter and that you know that George Bush drove an ex-girlfriend to an abortion clinic and paid for her to get an abortion.

"Then you go to an anti-immigration Web site chat room and ask, 'What's all this about George Bush proposing amnesty for illegal aliens?'"

Moby didn't claim that he believed the abortion story...

If you don’t want to get pinged, get off the ping list.

If you don’t want to get mail from McCain’s folks, get off his email list.

If it’s unsolicited pings/emails then I suppose you are getting spammed but it has nothinig to do with the program that McCain’s campaign is promoting.

Please reread my post and try again. They are not asking anyone to spam. They are not asking anyone to post items that aren’t germane to the topic at hand.

“I don’t know”

Why are you doing something for free when you could be earning something for your efforts?

Stupid move, if true.

Spam irritates more than it accomplishes anything.

And have another mug collector bot put me on yet one more ping list I didn't ask to be on in the first place. Even Moveon doesn't try as hard as you folks do.
