Hopefully Obama doesn't get re-elected. One of the biggest jokes as a president. Don't care if the next president is black, white, gay, straight, male, female, democrat or republican as long as it's not Obama.

I just tried this, and Obama's site loaded a bit faster than Gingrich's. What internet connection and PC were those tests done on?

The irony behind this is that last election he was the cool young tech savoy guy. However, I am almost positive download speed will have no reliance in the election.

OK, let me get this straight. This "web optimization vendor" (presumably so expert that one wouldn't dream of cross checking results with Alexa, Quantcast, or Google) is the sole source for this data, and the *president of the company* does the measurement on his iPhone? Does he have *any* employees other than himself? Does he have a computer other than his phone?

I mean, c'mon: yer PCWorld magazine, I used to read your print edition like 15 years ago, and *this* is what you call a serious article? I am disappoint.

Ron's side loads in 2.9secs, including the embeds and ajax content. Obama's is about the same (not surprising as it has no front page content).

Yeah that's some "real fine police work there, Lou." :|
