McCain Campaign Offers Points For Positive Comments On Blogs

If you praise McCain in a blog comment you get points from the campaign.

Help spread the word about John McCain on news and blog sites. Your efforts to help get the message out about John McCain’s policies and plan for the future is one of the most valuable things you can do for this campaign. You know why John McCain should be the next President of the United States and we need you to tell others why.

Select from the numerous web, blog and news sites listed here, go there, and make your opinions supporting John McCain known. Once you’ve commented on a post, video or news story, report the details of your comment by clicking the button below. After your comments are verified, you will be awarded points through the McCain Online Action Center.

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.
