* * * WARNING * * * Technobable ahead At the risk of bruising some egos, I do not like the look. While the site navigation is decent (excepting the registration page which continually refreshes - and jumps back up to the top - as fields are filled in), the visual layout and look is annoying. Red is a color better used as an accent than as a theme IMHO. BTW, that whole "red state, blue state" thing originated in the UK, and the parties were supposed to SWITCH each election cycle - the Dems just do not want to be associated with Red - for obvious reasons. Singular points - while I realize that the party is cash strapped, it is not helping the perception by placing a HUGE SHOUTING "DONATE" button at the top of the page. Principles and accomplishments are at the BOTTOM of the site - those should be at the top. I would rework the style to try for something warmer and more inviting, less antagonistic. Elements are HUGE - lots of wasted screen real estate. Looking at the code, these pages appear to be generated using tools - not optimal. Hopefully this is an experimental site and the REAL site is in developent. Should take about a week for someone skilled - so long as they do not have to please multiple masters, which is what I fear has happened to cause this current graphical dilemma. And, no, politics is NOT about compromise - it's about winning, so if my comments cause some consternation, take comfort in the fact that it's not MY web site. Except, of curse, for the fact that I'm a Senior Security Engineer and former hacker, which means a little research into the vulnerabilities of IIS7, FrontPage, and PHP5.2.1 might change that fact. Beware - most hackers are Democrats.

The entire GOP website looks great overall. We need every high tech means of stopping the Obama Fascisist/Marxist/Socialist machine. One question though: Where is the section promoting TERM LIMITS ? The GOP as of right now is the lesser of two evils. When will TERM LIMITs be implemented? If not by Congress and the Senate then it will be by "WE THE PEOPLE" ! End career politicians.

The site is a vast improvement, and I am very glad to see it! However, you decided to keep the site on a Microsoft platform, mixing a little asp and a lot of php. I find this very surprising, as the other side has done so well being on a completely innovative stack. Of course, the goal is political success and not a particular technical architecture, and I hope the PHP application extensions you guys are allowing will work out well for you. Perhaps I'll write one! Best of luck. Don't take my criticism very seriously - the site is a thousand times better for users and that's what is most important.

Great work! Put those liberal bloggers like CNN in their place. PS: I don't think you should call him "Chairman Steele." Sounds too much like "Chairman Mao" or some professional wrestler name. We don't need a chairman. We need PRESIDENT Steele.

Great work!
