McCain website: breaching our security?

June 15th, 2008 3:29 pm by Jason B.

After seeing John McCain’s new commercial, “Safe,” in which he states he hates war, I decided to take a visit to his campaign webpage. I went ahead with clicking on his e-mail signup, but was greeted immediately with a security warning. Not knowing what to do, I took a screenshot of this intrusive prompt. Could McCain’s staff be sending a virus to me? Am I being watched as I click around his website? Why would McCain’s site prompt me with a security warning whereas Obama’s site invites me in?   The security warning:

“You have attempted to establish a connection with “johnmccain.com”. However, the security certificate presented belongs to “*.johnmccain.com”. It is possible, though unlikely, that someone may be trying to intercept your communication with this website.

If you suspect the certificate does not belong to “johnmccain.com”, please cancel the connection and notify the site administrator.”

My message to everyone: be careful when visiting McCain’s site! Might as well go to Obama’s instead.

McCain Security

(Though this post is in good fun, the security prompt was completely real)

Media not telling the whole story about election

January 8th, 2008 9:37 pm by DJ Danielson

As I channel-surf watching coverage of the results of the New Hampshire presidential primary (supplemented with viewing of the Uptake’s live coverage), it’s become clear that the media is not telling the whole story about this primary.

By “not telling the whole story” I mean no one has told me that Minnesota’s own Ole Savior is on the Democratic presidential ballot in New Hampshire (link to PDF).

Furthermore, none of the major networks, nor the Uptake, are displaying his numbers.  Shameful.

In all seriousness, congrats to John McCain on his victory.  It looks like Barack Obama is gaining a little bit of ground on Hillary, but let’s keep watching to see how it turns out.

Iowa Caucuses tomorrow; predictions

January 2nd, 2008 6:25 pm by DJ Danielson

I would pick this guy, except he doesn’t enter the race until Sunday:

Ralph will announce his candidacy on the January 6th episode of The Simpsons. Actually, he isn’t the one who announces it; rather, the voters of Springfield, who reject all of the other candidates in their first primary, write the young Wiggum in as a candidate. He quickly becomes an independent presidential front-runner that party leaders for both the Republicans and the Democrats want to have in their court.

Now for real:

Democrats: 1. Edwards 2. Obama 3. Clinton.

Republicans: 1.  Huckabee  2. McCain 3. Romney.

But what do I know?
