STYLES make fights — or so goes the boxing cliché. In 2008, they make presidential campaigns, too.
This is especially true for the two remaining Democrats, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Reporters covering the candidates have already resorted to traditional analysis of style — fashion choices, manner of speaking, even the way they laugh. Yet, according to design experts, the candidates have left a clear blueprint of their personal style — perhaps even a window into their souls — through the Web sites they have created to raise money, recruit volunteers and generally meet-and-greet online.
On one thing, the experts seem to agree. The differences between hillaryclinton.com and barackobama.com can be summed up this way: Barack Obama is a Mac, and Hillary Clinton is a PC.
That is, Mr. Obama’s site is more harmonious, with plenty of white space and a soft blue palette. Its task bar is reminiscent of the one used at Apple’s iTunes site. It signals in myriad ways that it was designed with a younger, more tech-savvy audience in mind — using branding techniques similar to the ones that have made the iPod so popular.
“With Obama’s site, all the features and elements are seamlessly integrated, just like the experience of using a program on a Macintosh computer,” said Alice Twemlow, chairwoman of the M.F.A. program in design criticism at the School of Visual Arts (who is a Mac user).
It is designed, she said, even down to the playful logos that illustrate choices like, Volunteer or Register to Vote. She likened those touches to the elaborate, painstaking packaging Apple uses to woo its customers.

clinton and obama are pc users, McCain is the Mac user.
MeCain is a Mac that runs Windows.
“STYLES make fights — or so goes the boxing cliché.”
I’m not much of boxing fan, but I’ve never heard this supposed “cliche” and I can’t believe all the homos at the Slimes know squat about boxing either.
MCCain’s a UNIAC.
McCain is an Abacus.
Just clicked Hillary’s “Sign up as a volunteer today” and,after giving her my name and addresses, clicked the box to volunteer to help on Friday, April 18th!
Today being Saturday, the 26th, and she not mentioning the year - maybe I volunteered for April 18th, 2009, and she’ll have her people call me to help her contracted landscapers clean twigs and leaves off the Chappaquidick grounds next spring. Hayna or no?
McCain just needs a lot of debugging to become a Republican.
McCain is a Timex Sinclair

looks like an old VAX750 8^)
Obama is Marxist and Hillary is Marxist-lite.
Obama is DOS - the black part takes up the largest space, even though he needs to communicate in other colors just to get a message out.
Hillary is Vista - trying desperately to stay up to date, but so bloated and concerned about appearances that she can’t actually get anything done.
McCain is Linux - able to load up just about anywhere, but once he’s there, what are you going to do with him?
John McCain is a Linux machine.
Or, maybe McCain is an AS-400! LOL.
All three are Zunes.
“Hillary’s a cash register.”
Exactly in more ways than one an the reason why BO is far, far worse and maybe even McCain.
HC was an ideologue but now she is all about the money. Her money. An HC Presidency will be about making her fabulously wealthy. McCains will be about punishing conservatives. What is worse.
OBTH, Obama is Lenin.
Is Obama a Mac and Clinton a PC?
Forget that, what kind of tree are they?
The Vic 20 was a very good machine in it’s day. These two can never match that.
Turd and douche are a better analogy.
