Introducing McCainPedia.org
McCainPedia.org is a wiki, a type of Web site comprised of editable information from many sources, which serves as the Democratic National Committee's repository for all things McCain. The goal of the site is to host thorough, vetted, and comprehensive research and information about Senator John McCain in real time.
According to the site:
In the past, research by candidates and political parties was hidden from the public and couldn't be accessed by voters trying to figure out how they should vote, by activists looking to influence the election, or by bloggers trying to find good research to help write their blogs. With this resource, which will be constantly updated with additional material through the election, we are embracing the idea that opening up our resources is the best way to engage voters and elect a Democrat to the White House.
The main difference between McCainPedia.org and other wiki sites is that it is not open to be edited by the general public. The DNC's Research, Communications, and Internet teams make up the editors for the site and because of this approach, unlike traditional wikis, all of the information posted on the site has been vetted for accuracy, and has been verified to be correct by the DNC.
Check out the site throughout the election to learn everything from the details of the lasted McCain blunder to more information on his dangerous lack of knowledge about the economy.
