Crafty voter suppression tactic?

I received an interesting phone call at work this week, so interesting that I decided to record and share it with everyone--I'm just that way.

What Makes A Great Political Web Site ?

I'm curious to know what folks think are some of the better political web sites out there in terms of organization, ease of use, ease of information access, usefulness of available information, etc.. As a general rule, I see a lot of sites that have a number of bells and whistles, but they are often lacking in substance, or that substance is difficult to access.

POV and disclaimer:  I work (but not "work" work) on web sites for local party organizations, and I'm in the process of revamping one of them, so that's why I'm asking.  The info could be useful for anyone else working on a similar project, but if this is not really appropriate material for BlueNC, by all means dump the thread.
