    That is superb news for WordPress and for Open Source.

    What about other parties in the USA?

      The only other major party would be President Obama’s party the Democrats. While the official government site, whitehouse.gov runs on Drupal and the campaign site, barakobama.com , runs on Expressions Engine.

      There are a few “3rd party candidates”, the two biggest being:
      Green Party – http://www.mesplay.org/ – Drupal
      Libertarian – http://wrights2012.com/ – WordPress

      The most surprising thing to me is none of them run on Joomla.

    6 out of 10 make good decisions on their Open Source CMS. If only they could make equally good decisions on the “issues”

    … which means all 10 are on an Open Source CMS

    What better way to cut spending?

    That’s proved that Open Source CMS is one the of best software to use in all different status and level of people.

    John McCains website was due to be transitioned to WordPress when he won. Except history says that didn’t happen :P It was an ugly beast of a site so it’s probably best that never happened, as it wouldn’t have been a good look for WordPress, lol.

    The choice of Gary Johnson and Ron Paul to use WordPress or any kind of open-source/non-copyright CMS does not surprise me.

    By Libertarian standards, copyright is really just a partial claim on how someone else may use their property.

    In this case, that property is our servers.
