What family wouldn't want his focus?

Content Check:

The opening of the front page of this site was a Most Horrifying Moment in itself. We realize that the run for the presidency should never be reduced to a beauty contest and we're sorry, but that face! My god, what were they thinking? The bloodshot eyes, the red-rimmed nose - is this an allergy ad or a political campaign? Surely the Bauer bunch can afford a decent photographer for something as important as a bid for the presidency. Just click on anything else as quickly as you can!

Once off the front page, the graphics are nice and the site has an overall comfortable feel, like a brand new comfy couch. But sit there long enough and you might find a sharp spring poking you in the butt, like Bauer's "anti-Christian bigotry" speech, which turns out to be not much more than an attack on freedom of expression through the arts. DarkHorse2000 may not have any "frogs in bathing suits cavorting before the Lord's Table" (yet), but its lack of homage to Bauer's "religious patrimony" probably ranks it in his eyes with the other leftist-liberal-elitist-radical-secularist expressions that this country could very well do without. We said we'd avoid politics in these reviews, but we can't help thinking that politicians should stick to politics and leave art criticism to those who know what they're talking about.

Navigation Nags:

None. It's smooth. Too smooth, maybe. So smooth you might find yourself reading something you really wish you hadn't.

Bonus DarkHorse 2000 Tip:

Don't ever say anything like; "From the trail." the only things ever found on the trail are droppings. At least say, "From the campaign trail" so we know what kind of droppings to expect.

Interesting Point:

Designed by codedsolutions.com, a design company that proudly claims the Dole for President Site in their portfolio. Funny, they don't mention Bauer's site.
