Colorado GOP Senate Race leads to Facebook "hit" page

Could this be the first Facebook "hit" page?

Political attack sites - sometimes called "hit" sites - are flooding the Web as the 2010 elections edge closer, but a new form of hit site has surfaced in Colorado's contentious GOP Senate race. The centerpiece? Pink stilettos.

A Facebook page entitled The Buck Stops Here has only around 425 "likes," but the Norton campaign is promoting it through Google search ads. Posts to the page include links to news coverage of Buck's footwear comment, which have been fueled by viral distribution of a YouTube video capturing it. Norton's official campaign Facebook page has around 4,855 likes.

"We want to use every possible avenue that we can to reach to voters," said Norton campaign spokesperson Cinamon Watson, who declined to share any more about the Facebook effort.     – More -
