-Caveat Lector- Vol. 5, No. 1036 - The American Reporter - March 29, 1999 http://www.american-reporter.com OPINION: ONLINE CAMPAIGNS MAKE GAINS FOR WHITE HOUSE HOPEFULS by Andy C. Szul Jr. American Reporter Correspondent Washington, D.C. WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Supporters and critics of the two major Democrat presidential candidates for the Year 2000 are online in growing numbers. With their own Web sites, newsgroups and bulletin boards, former New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley <http://billbradley.com> and Vice President Al Gore <http://www.gore2000.com/> have hit the ground running. "The Internet will be to the 2000 campaign what television was to the 1960 campaign," said a spokesperson for GOP presidential hopeful John Kasich, in a recent interview. At the same time, candidates from both parties are recognizing the importance of online campaign efforts. Offering both the good, bad and neutrality on various candidates, many predict the Internet will play an important role in helping organize effective grassroots support for the upcoming 2000 presidential elections. While candidate supporters have erected favorable Web sites, there are still other sites that offer various Gore gaffes <http://gargaro.com/algore.html>, as well as offbeat satires found at <http://www.washingtonpest.com/quiz_no_JS.html>. According to Paul Westmoreland of Austin, Tex., who moderates an online George Bush 2000 discussion group, the Internet is likely to play an key role in the upcoming elections. "[The Internet] could certainly make the difference in a close election, which means it must be used well," he said. "It will certainly be used to damage campaigns that do not take it seriously." ......<sniip>.........
