The Web on the Candidates

• Former Giuliani advisor Patrick Ruffini has developed a very cool "videowall" that used Yahoo Pipes and Google Video to create a wall of recent political video from the candidates that he calls a "full screen total immersion experience." It wall also show voter-generated video, so for a trip into the political zeitgeist, take a peek, but be forewarned: it loads 24 videos at once, and will probably bring your browser to a grinding halt.
• TPMCafe's Greg Sargent found a glaring "error" in Matt Drudge's post yesterday linking to a Boston Herald article showing "before" and "after" pics of Hillary Clinton, attempting to show that she's had plastic surgery (way to deal with the issues!). The only problem was that the "before" pic -- which shows a less smooth-faced Hillary -- was actually taken after the "after" pic. The Herald claimed they made a mistake and fixed the order of the pictures, but, of course, Drudge has moved on to more important things, like lightning striking while Giuliani spoke in last night's debate.

The Candidates on the Web

• Justin Miller at Real Clear Politics is asking why four Democrats who participated in Sunday night's debate haven't posted any clips from it on their sites. Despite CNN's decision to make debate footage freely available, Bill Richardson, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, and Dennis Kucinich have all failed to make use of it. Even Barack Obama has featured just one debate clip. Why not take advantage of this resource? It's free, and folks like Larry Lessig have worked hard to make it so.
• Fresh off of producing an informative and amusing Talk Clock that showed, in all its Pez-dispenzer glory, which candidates got the most talking time in Sunday's Democratic debate, the Chris Dodd campaign has produced another chart for the Republicans. According to the chart, the person with the most talking time in last night's debate was... Wolf Blitzer. He's predictably followed by the "top-tier" triad of Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, and Mitt Romney. Aside from the obvious disparities between top- and second-tier candidates, why is Wolf getting so much screen time? Is the Situation Room not enough?
