(PRWEB) October 12, 2004 -- As George Bush and John Kerry slug it out on the campaign trail and in the Presidential Debates, blog (http://www.etwine.com/?Blog=Blog) leader eTwine.com has seen its users increasingly turn to its highly popular blog section as a medium to express their throughts and opinions. eTwine.com's blogs (http://www.etwine.com) are sorted by subject and there has been a flurry of activity in recent weeks in the "Politics" section as members have used blogs as an outlet for their views on the Presidential Election and the Debates.

Political Blog (http://www.etwine.com/blogs/?Show=Search&Logged=Logged&CID=10&SCID=&Username=&x=68&y=3) entries in the "Politics" section can be viewed at: http://www.etwine.com/blogs/?Show=Search&Logged=Logged&CID=10&SCID=&Username=&x=68&y=3.

eTwine.com's new blog tool is designed to be more fun and interactive than the typical blogging experience. At the core of eTwine's blog application is the blog rating system. All members are able to rate every blog entry from 1 to 10. As a result, eTwine members can use these ratings to quickly find the funniest and most popular blog entries.

Presently, two debate-related entries in the politics section have earned a perfect 10.0 rating. They begin as follows:

"I was elated about John Edward's performance tonight. Surely it was a well contested debate by the longtime politician, Cheney, but I think Edwards was excellent and couldn't have done any better at addressing the American people about what the Bush ticket really stands for and what the Kerry ticket stands for, making the differences clear."

"Yes, my friends, the debates were last night and they were fantastic. John Kerry was poised, eloquent, timely, and informed. Bush, on the other hand, did make me laugh several times with his long pauses, inability to find the right words, and the messing up of several words."

eTwine.com President Darrell Lerner commented: "We have felt all along that eTwine has the superior blogging tool on the market and it is so gratifying to see entry after entry being posted minutes after each debate has ended. Users have instantly taken to our blog ratings system and the overall interactive nature of our blog section and we are pleased to see them using eTwine to post their views and exchange ideas and commentary on such an important subject."
