Ron Paul's design team went with a very striking layout, both in terms of a consistent use of colors and a solid sense of what columns are for. Red and blue are almost de riguer for presidential candidates, and Paul's team has done an absolutely solid job using graphic headers with red for new readers' attention and blue for "things of interest to returning readers". Unlike Obama (and too many other candidates), Ron Paul's website has no splash page. That's a big plus in my book. Obama came in second in my <a href="http://elfs.livejournal.com/724291.html" rel="nofollow">survey of candidate's websites</a>. I disagree that Obama’s is the best-looking website.

Obama came in second in my survey of candidate’s websites.

His official logo can be seen here: http://www.yannone.org/BlogPics/RonPaul2008b.jpg and on his official website: http://www.ronpaul2008.com The logo you're showing as Ron Paul's is the one sold at ronpaulyardsigns.com, a site created by supporters not connected to the official campaign, was made unofficially and clearly states at the bottom: "Not authorized by candidate or campaign committee." (I've got one of the signs in my window, so I checked what it says.) You may have seen one of the signs around, but it's not from the official campaign. Personally, I disagree with your assessment of the logos. Obama's, while unique, is one of the worst presidential campaign logos I've ever seen. I think Edwards' is one of the best, personally. Hillary's is better than her stance on the issues, that's for sure. I like Ron Paul's (the official one I linked to), but it doesn't even say he's running for President.

Yeap. I'm just not sure who to select for president honestly, because even the candidate with the best intentions seems to get corrupted by the office. With absolute power, comes absolute corruption. With great power comes great responsibility. I love me my comics. :P I dont’ know if it’s just me, but they all look the same to me. Yeap.

With great power comes great responsibility.
