So to me it just looks like a waste of a perfectly good Googlebomb.

It's in total public domain, and up to the people with guts and smarts to make it happen. Bloggers aren't buying those top spots with millions from corporations... THAT'S not fair. Often irrelevant, but they bought it. It's just another grassroots tool. And yes, both sides can do it... so how is it not fair? It's not even more manipulation than Fox News. People need to read between the lines and quit being so blind to truth sitting right there. FAIR GAME. Oh, I stop at page five. I'm burying my own competition; that's where she lives now.

No. See this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_Google_bombs_in_the_2004_U.S._Presidential_election "It’s also possible that this will lead to an arms race on the Internet between campaigns." Of course. During the 2006 midterms, both sides launched Googlebombs against each other, and both sides are Googlebombing each other right now. It's not just OpenLeft that's doing this, take a look around the political blogosphere, Googlebombs are flying around like mad right now. “this is the first time that there has been a public attempt to influence a presidential election by artificially inflating the negative publicity surrounding a candidate through a Googlebomb”
