Just a heads up, the link for house of del gives the senate page
and the link for the senate page gives the house page.

I fixed it.

also a potential Dem pick up for sure!!!

Opps, nope this is a local committee's website. 

For heaven's sakes when will the state party assume it's responsibility to its candidates, it's constituency, and the donors and show us they know who is running for office?

Congratulations Arlington.  Not only is Arlington a great place but it's Democrats are some of the best in the state!!!

I attended the Central Committee mtg. in Va. Beach Sat. and was a bit dismayed when Van and related areas were briefed. My biggest concern wasn't the VAN because I think it's going to be a valuable tool, although it was stated that the mapping features won't be available for another week.
My concern was that although that was a tech. briefin we were asked to hold all questions until the afternoon, so there was no opportunity to ask about what (if anything) DPVA is doing to improve the web site.

And of course the DPVA web site shortcomings are not just that it doesn't look professional nor it's lack of numerous tech. features that are user-friendly. There is so little up-to-date content - especially woefully inadequate candidate info. - that it's hardly worth the time to access it. I suspect that if the DPVA leadership would just fund Antonia to rebuild the web site using her ACDC web site as a model that would go a long way toward filling the urgent needs as expressed by Dianne.

In all honesty, the DPVA leadership is paying a lot of money for their web site and getting very little return on the investment. I'd propose that some of the money being spent pretty much unproductively be redirected to a real pro (obviously that means Antonia); now THAT would result in a BIG return on investment, especially in terms of accomplishing our goal of winning a majority in November.
Of course the first step before asking the DPVA to accept that they need help and to redirect money is to ask Antonia if she's available to take on the task.

Respectfully submitted for consideration and comment. And for action if the response is positive.

  T.C.

held this past weekend in VaBeach.  In your opinion, is there any real chance that what you suggest to fix the website would actually happen?

The whole DPVA website replacement thing has been a mystery to me and I addressed my questions in an earlier diary asking why the developer touts on his website that they only had two months to do everything when the DPVA had been talking about a new website for such a long time. http://raisingkaine....

We had barely two months to design, develop, implement and launch their new website [emphasis provided]. The goal was simple: build the best state party website ever. It had to be clean, simple and easy to navigate while yielding the most relevant and necessary information. A visitor to the site had to be able to find exactly what they were looking for in under 30 seconds and the state party had to be able to present what they wanted visitors to see.

Reason I'm bringing this up again is your comment about the extraordinary money you indicate was spent on it.  If the developer only had 2 months to, in his words, design, develop, implement and launch such a skeleton of a website, why was it expensive?

And why was Bullseye given only two months for the job when talk of the replacement began many months prior at DPVA?
