McCain Official Campaign Site Puts Fund-Raising Efforts on Front Page
When a visitor arrives at Senator McCain’s official site on Friday, March 30, 2007, the message is crystal-clear: “We need donations now.”
The reason for such prominence of the finance sector of the campaign: the FEC quarterly report filing deadline is at the end of March. Since the fundraising disclosures made public in those reports will decisively influence the media coverage (and their assignment of various campaigns to “tiers” in the campaign for the parties’ respective nominations), the more money the McCain campaign can rake in before the deadline, the better off it is.
The message has been amplified, even since Thursday, when the fundraising button was relatively small, and did not dominate the page. However, on Friday it now does, and likely will remain front-and-center on the front page till the deadline.
