After the election last night I decided to check up on all of the websites that were set up during the election season.
Harold had a banner on his front page http://www.mccartyformayor.com/ congratulating Mayor Hutchinson on re-election.
Dennis had no page. I read a few childish posts over on a message board called topix.
I then checked the mystery site set up last last week that was never connected to anyone. www.2009ColumbiaElection.com This site did not have any contact info for the author or owner of the page. If you did a "whois" on the site you see it was owned by VistaPrint which operates in either Bermuda or Massachusetts, I really don't know. The election website has since disappeared. I did a Google search for it and viewed the cached page and came up with this. http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:XgYHmhusodIJ:2009columbiaelection.com/+2009+columbia+election&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us Well that answers some of my questions about the website, and my suspicions were confirmed. I only wish they could have been transparent before the election and sent the questions they asked each candidate so we could have seen them.
Their views may not be right or wrong for that matter. Regardless they as a group should have at least said whose views they were promoting.
