RNC Website FAIL!

(Bob Cesca)
The Republicans relaunched their new and super-buggy website today and it's hilariously awful.

It's nearly impossible to click anywhere beyond the front page. There's actually not much of anything above the fold, and below the fold there's a "Republican Heroes" banner that appears to be ballyhooing someone named Pickney Pinchback. No offense to Mr. Pinchback, but nothing says "new and exciting" like a guy from the 19th century named "Pickney Pinchback."

Some other observations from Ambinder:
- In a section devoted to "future leaders," there were none.

- The last GOP accomplishment cited on the accomplishment page was from 2004.

- Administrator passwords were accidentally posted.

- The first question on the conference call was from an Hispanic Republican who asked why the GOP site didn't have a Spanish-language page and noted that the White House had one.
Oh, and when the accomplishments page finally loaded for me, this was the actual logo at the top of the page:



Is that really the face you want replacing the "O" in your logo? The Ardipithecus?
