Iraqi Political Party Takes Internet Cue from Obama Campaign

This is the English-language website of Ahrar, a secularist Iraqi political party contesting the March 7 parliamentary elections that used to be somewhat affiliated with ex-Prime Minister Iyad Allawi. Does it remind you of a certain American political campaign? One that promised “Hope For The Future”?

Elsewhere on the site, Ahrar assures voters that its leader, Ayad Jamal Al-Din, “has always stood for unity — and for One Iraq.”

I guess anyone could build a campaign website with the Obama template, but you know… hmm… Are David Plouffe or Blue State Digital doing any work for Iraqis? Just asking…
