Conservatives Have Problems With Digg

No, Digg isn't censoring us.  Not as far as I can tell, anyway.

But we're not using Digg very well to help get our message out.  My most Dugg post ever is this one, which currently has been Dugg 128 times. Generally, I feel like I'm doing pretty well when I break the 10 Diggs barrier.

In contrast, I'm looking at the "Popular" Digg page for 2008 U.S. Elections. I went through all 14 pages of it.  Fewest number of Diggs was around 400, and every single post on every single page was anti-McCain/Palin or pro-Obama/Biden. There were several posts that had over 3000 Diggs that at very best fall into the "smear" category, and at worst are downright lies.

But still, it shows that the left is far better at using Digg than the right. Which means they're better at controlling the messages that are seen by the average joe.

Even if you go to the "Digg the Candidates" page, you see three stories on each candidate.

Right now there are three positive stories about Obama, and three negative ones about McCain.

I'm not proposing a solution, other than working better together. I'm just pointing out the problem.
