I assume the main point of this entire site is to keep John Kerry out of the oval office. The only way to do that is to appeal to the swing vote.

The only way to do that is raise a lot of cash to run TV ads.

If the point of this site is to provide a place for vets to chew the fat then you have a great site and you are right, the commercial shouldn't load automatically.

The vast majority of people who visit this site will visit once and never come back. That is the nature of web surfers. It is also the nature of web surfers not to downlad stuff unless they really need to.

In otherwords, not only are you missing out on their possible donations, you are also missing a chance to convert them.

Do people watching TV get to choose what commercials appear on their screen. Of course not. Advertisers wouldn't allow it.

But according to your logic, If enough people complain to CBS and ABC that their commercials are getting in the way of their TV watching they will somehow make the commercials optional.

No one can deny that alot more people will see the ad if it loads automatically.

And as for your argument about service denial attacks, there are easy ways around them.

Also if people want to get to the boards quickly, they can just link to them directly.

Remember the commercial is the sales pitch, not these boards.

Regarding the mechanical trouble with the contributions page - I had to try three times for mine to get through last night, but it finally worked. Just keep at it - it will work!

Cheers,
