Say Anything is in the list of two dozen or so suggested conservative blogs, so I guess if you come sing McCain’s praises in the comments here (or on the reader blog) you can get points from McCain. Though I’m not sure what those points are redeemable for, if anything.
A lot of people are worried about this, but I think it’s rather innovative. A lot of movements offer ways for supporters to compete against one another. That competition generates increased support activity. I don’t see why it’s any more inappropriate to do this sort of thing for, say, selling magazine subscriptions to support a school than it is to do it for a political campaign.
I think it’d be inappropriate for McCain to make those points redeemable for cash. As the owner of one of the blogs targeted in this effort I don’t want a bunch of paid McCain spammers filling up the comments section. But as a way for McCain supporters to compete with one another?
I don’t see why not.
