The other day, "Not Larry Sabato" wrote the following about Hilda Barg's campaign website:
52nd District: Jeff Frederick vs. Hilda Barg
Current Outlook: Toss Up
Website Ratings: Frederick A+ Barg D-
Website Outlook: Frederick defeats BargThis is without a doubt, the most mismatched website battle ever seen. Hilda Barg who had a nice website up until recently for her 2003 campaign has completely botched her site this year. It's the middle of August and Barg still doesn't even have anything more up then an unflattering picture of herself. This is particularly shocking because the old site had a very nice picture of her. It's as if the opposition is doing her site.
OK, so the Barg campaign was a bit slow in putting up its campaign website. But now she has one, and it looks great! Now, if the Barg campaign just beefs up the pictures section a bit, possibly does a cool "precinct map," this site will rate an "A" from me, and hopefully from "Not Larry Sabato" as well.
More importantly, Hilda Barg is a great candidate, running against a guy who belongs to the secretive, far-right-wing Council for National Policy (CNP), who's buddies with Tom DeLay, and whose largest campaign donor is his own company, GSX Strategies. 'Nuff said.
The bottom line is that the Barg-Frederick race already was a huge mismatch in terms of talent and qualifications. Now, Hilda's website reflects that fact. Great job, and onwards to victory in November!
