Daily Kos:

[[i know it is weird and unprecedented to post something from this site, but it lays out their plan to manipulate information in favor of their candidates.]]
--------
As the election approaches, the buzz in Democratic activist circles is the need for GOTV. If we can turn out the vote, and get the composition of the electorate back to what it was in 2008, then Democrats will win.

GOTV is an extremely important form of activism, and you should take part in it if you can. There are any number of great organizations working on it, such as Organizing for America, so please hook up with them to get involved.

Here at Daily Kos, we are going to engage in very different, but still very important, form of election activism. It’s a type of activism no one else is working on, and it is well-suited to our medium as a blog. It’s a grassroots-based search engine optimization campaign, which I call Grassroots SEO for short.

Full explanation below the fold.

Campaign Goal and Theory
The goal of Grassroots SEO is to get as many undecided voters as possible to read the most damaging news article about the Republican candidate for Congress in their district. It is based on two simple premises:

1. One of the most common political activities people take online is to use search engines, mainly Google, to find information on candidates. (For more information, see the Pew Internet and American Life Project’s report on 2008 online political engagement.)

2. These results of these searches are always in flux based upon hyperlinks anyone posts anywhere on the Internet, including message board comments and social networking sites (but not email).

Actually, this article posted here about Palin is exactly the kind of thing they want to have exposed.

 

It's easy to get all worked up over the title thinking it is tax payer money...or to use it as a comparison to President Obama's galavanting all over the country based on the headline itself.

 

When you read the article, you discover this is from her campaign fund, which is exactly what campaign funds are for.

 

So there you go.
