The last few months at AC have grown inflammatory, derogatory, accusatory, defamatory, feudatory and even hallucinatory. All because of politics.
Content producers brave enough to state their political opinions have had to fight for them. CPs and readers have agreed and disagreed, sometimes in the forums, other times in the comment section of articles. The battle has clearly defined the political stand Content Producers are taking.
Associated Content is just as politically divided as the rest of the nation which only goes to show that amongst opposing viewpoints we are still one nation united together.
If you were to create a map of Associated Content Producers and mark them either red or blue like they do with the electoral votes map on the news the results would be remarkably similar
When I searched AC’s library of articles siding with both presidential candidates there were more results in favor of Obama. Not by much though. I used the search term “vote for obama” and “vote for mccain” and 2,832 turned up for obama and 2,518 for mccain. You have to take into account though all the articles listed in those results that said won’t, can’t or don’t vote but even then there are still more articles in favor of Obama than there are of McCain.
Of course now that it’s November 5th it doesn’t really matter who voted for who because Obama has already won.
Perhaps we should have a little compassion for our Conservative, Republican, McCain loving Content Producers. As a gesture of letting bygones be bygones I offer you this list of disappointed CPs.
Todaysbest4me – Why I can’t Vote for Obama.
Charles Drengberg – Top 10 Reasons Not to Vote for Obama
Amanda Keller – Questions in The Rain as I Vote for McCain.
Timothy Sexton – Top 5 Reasons You Should Vote for John McCain and Sarah Palin
Alison Hasselguist – Why I Vote John McCain and Not Barack Obama
Virtual Vee – Why I Will Vote for John McCain
JHoff – This Time I’m Supporting McCain
LarrWayne – Vote for McCain Not Higher Taxes
I was recently informed that I made a blunder and included a couple of articles that were actually written in sarcasim. So I went ahead and removed those from the list above and ind will instead add another list in this post for those in favor of Obama. Thanks Sheryl!
