Barack, your campaign is pissing me off
This is bullshit. I have supported the Obama campaign since well before it was officially announced. I’ve been on their mailing list forever. I struggled to get the pretty-but-poorly-designed website to understand that I had moved from California to Oregon. These days I patiently receive a constant stream of emails from the campaign asking for money. All of which is no big deal to me.
But, I’ve gotta say that something is wrong if you have to start building false suspense in your campaign with this “Be the first to know who my VP is” crap. First off, I’ve been on your mailing list forever. So I damned well better be “the first to know”. But apparently it doesn’t work that way, because I still have to go to some web page and type in a bunch of the info that the campaign already has. WTF?
It’s not like I’m going to run out and vote McCain because of this. It’s just an annoying smudge on an otherwise shiny campaign.
Edit – Here’s the page I hyperlinked in the text of my post but isn’t showing in Google Reader:
