How to tell the difference between the US presidential Candidates

So was browsing all the candidates websites...and relized how much you can tell from a candidate by looking at their site.
Go to these two:

[url]http://www.barackobama.com/index.php[/url]
Almost identical, with two key differences. Obama's website is more smooth and appealing, and Hillary's has some sharp edges that might scare some people off.
[url]http://www.johnmccain.com/[/url]
McCains site is very similar to Clinton's and Obama's - just more black and white, and with more shades of grey.

Paul's site is an exact opposite of the major candidates. Go Figure.

Looking past the skin, I don't see much difference between Paul's site and the rest, either. Some graphics and other visual elements images may be elsewhere, but the form it follows is nearly identical. Paul's site focuses on social media rather than mainstream, but its form is still quite similar and shares its structure with the other three. Content is laid out in a "Introduce, Present case, identify opposition, learn more, join up" heirarchy.
I find Obama's site to be the most appealing, but I rather like McCain's visual cues to the Armed Forces. It plays off of his image very well. Hillary and Paul both have information overload sites, with Paul slightly ahead through a slight reduction of visual clutter. Obama's site has perfect flow. it looks good, it's easy to read and quick to process, and does its job well.
Paul's is Identical, but flipped 90*. :) Ergo, Opposite. :)
