Well that didn't take long. Just this morning, we took note of the many bizarre design and content features of the new GOP.com. And now the site is down--maybe because the list of its failures has been so long that the admins needed some breathing room. In fact, Marc Ambinder, The Atlantic's crackjack political reporter, has just posted a list of the "Top Ten Reasons Why the GOP.com Relaunch is Fizzlin." Among them:

10. In a section devoted to "future leaders," there were none.

9. In the subsequent rush to get up a "future leaders" page, they choose "you."

8. The last GOP accomplishment cited on the accomplishment page was from 2004.

7. The what's up page--hip! starts with this sentence: ""the Internet has been around for a while now"

6. Administrator passwords were accidentally posted.

5. When the RNC hosted a kick-off conference call, the Web site was down.

4. The website cites Jackie Robinson as a GOP hero. Robinson wasn't a GOPer, and he criticized the GOP on race. Robinson left the party because of its views on race. He had been, as a reader points out, a Republican for many years.

3. The first question on the conference call was from an Hispanic Republican who asked why the GOP site didn't have a Spanish-language page and noted that the White House had one.

And so on.

Let's just wait and see what changes when the site finally comes back up. Should be fun.
