U.S. Representative District 1

Marge Krupp (D)
Krupp's site isn't visually unattractive, though it doesn't balance the three columns well for a static site. The header is just a bit out of focus, designed by someone who doesn't know the finer points of Photoshop. It's lacking metatags, and the eCommerce tool uses ActBlue (like Wasserman's site). Krupp's "blog" is just a few news releases. Her event calendar doesn't have anything listed beyond June. The multimedia page shows one shaky and untitled video. Grade: D+

Paul Ryan (R)
Ryan's site looks very much like a template one can purchase, then populate with some custom info. It's green and gray and text-heavy, but at least includes an RSS feed. Its donate tool is powered by an external site, yourpatriot.com. Like Krupp's site, Ryan's is completely devoid of metatags, while the logo is small and jammed in the upper right corner. Generic and somewhat cold, the site looks vaguely professional but not very inspiring. Grade: C-

U.S. Representative District 4

Michael D. LaForest (I)
Apparently, it won't matter that Moore's Web site is atrocious (see below), since LaForest doesn't even have a Web site; he has a single Web page. And a free, geocities one at that. Obviously, this guy doesn't stand a chance, but you have to like this sentiment: "My Info: If you feel inclined to give money to my campaign, I ask that you please give to your local library instead." Maybe less is more, but LaForest doesn't even deserve a grade. If we must ... Grade: Incomplete.

Gwen Moore (D)
Moore's homepage has enough HTML errors that borders and boxes are broken all over the place. And apparently, she hasn't touched it in two years. It actually reads: "Thank you for visiting my virtual campaign headquarters and web-site (sic). What an exciting year 2006 has been thus far!" The "newsroom" section includes one story from 2005. This site would've been bad in 2006. In 2008, it's terrible. Grade: F

U.S. Representative District 5

Robert R. Raymond (I)
If Raymond has a Web site, we can't find it. Grade: Incomplete.

F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr. (R)
Sensenbrenner's site is pretty awful, but since he's more or less running unopposed, maybe it doesn't matter. From amateur graphics, to a Paypal donation system, to an empty event calendar, it's obvious this candidate is completely mailing it in. His biography is seven short bullet points. You'd think almost 30 years in the House of Representatives would merit more than the words "US Congressman 1979-Present," but why spend the money if you can't lose, right? Grade: D-
