Republicans and Democrats have revamped their national Web sites after a record-setting year for political organizing and fund raising on the Internet.

Both parties acknowledge that Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean's extraordinary success using the Internet to help raise a Democratic Party record of $40 million last year and organize tens of thousands of supporters caught their attention and prompted the new-and-improved Web sites.

Democrats unveiled theirs last week, with changes to make it easier to sign up supporters for "virtual precincts" and tell people how to contact local media organizations. Detail was added to its criticism of President Bush's record.

The Republican National Committee site was revamped in January with the addition of numerous interactive features. Users can check out "Kerry vs. Kerry" - a boxing match with Kerry battling himself on issues from the Iraq war to tax cuts. The site also offers a Kerry "Spendometer" that shows GOP estimates of the costs of Kerry's proposals.

They repeat GOP attacks in every article and refuse to mention Dem attacks (except in this case saying that one can go to the website to see them).
