5.0 out of 5 stars All I needed to know about Advocacy websites. . ., February 14, 2002

By	Joseph E. Smith (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews

Wow! What a book! I read every page on a flight between Orlando and D.C. I have never known how-to books to be page-turners, but this one was. If you have any questions about starting a website for a campaign or political advocacy, or you're just looking to freshen up what you have, this book is the only one you'll need. The authors have the credentials and experience needed to offer these basic, yet insightful tips.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for campaign staffers & junkies, October 13, 2003

By	"mail15096" (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

As a campaign consultant and Web strategist, this book is my "go to" guide for everything related to the Internet. There are still many candidates who don't appreciate the importance of a well-created and maintained Website and this book explains step-by-step why such a dynamic medium is necessary in our era of 24-hour information. I highly recommend this book to all campaign staff members, political junkies and students who are studying about campaigns!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Primer on Campaign Websites, May 21, 2006

By	M. Lange (Washington) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It has become de rigeur for political campaigns of any size to have a website. They are indispensable for getting the message out, rallying the troops, raising money, and establishing and maintaining momentum.

This book gives the theoretical basics to constructing a campaign website, keeping it lively, and integrating it into the overall strategy, tactics, and organization of the modern political campaign.

The book strongly and confidently lays out the necessary considerations. I only gave it four stars, because it has a lot of repetition. It could have been better if it had lost about 30 pages of superfluous material. Still, I highly recommend it as a basic work for campaign professionals and candidates who are considering how to go about setting up and maintaining a campaign website.
