Is Obama a Mac and Clinton a PC?

Let’s look at the upcoming US Presidential elections from a design perspective, and turn it into a Mac verse PC debate to make it more interesting, since rhetoric and politicking can become a little dull after a time.

Reporters covering the candidates have already resorted to traditional analysis of style - fashion choices, manner of speaking, even the way they laugh. Yet, according to design experts, the candidates have left a clear blueprint of their personal style - perhaps even a window into their souls - through the Web sites they have created to raise money, recruit volunteers and generally meet-and-greet online. On one thing, the experts seem to agree. The differences between hillaryclinton.com and barackobama.com can be summed up this way: Barack Obama is a Mac, and Hillary Clinton is a PC.

And if the current indications are anything to go by, it looks like this could be the year of the Mac.
