As a follow up to my last post, the Kinky Friedman for TX Governor website is the kind of candidate website I’d like to see more of. It’s a good example of a campaign site that is both professionally done and a true reflection of the candidate’s personality.

It’s working too: 169,000 Texans have signed a petition to get Kinky on the ballot in November as an Independent and he’s outraising the main Democrat in the race. Not surprisingly, Kinky also has a MySpace page with 14,000 friends.

Of course, it’s easier for Kinky to pull this kind of site off. He’s Kinky Friedman, after all. But I think campaigns could learn a thing or two about how to breath life into their websites by giving Kinky’s site a look.
