I have just put up a website (cheap) so as to find out the possible influence of websites on a US State Goveror election.

www.Michigan.St

At the moment the site is not well planned out but hopefully this will change over the next few days as suggestions are sorted and some applied.

I have also inserted an advertisement from my broker (actually arranged a click through payment agreement with him - first time I'm making money out of him rather than the other way round! ).

The latest polls show the Democratic candidate (Jennifer Granholm) leading 47-46 over the Republican candidate (Dick DeVos). Over the past few months the impetus has been with the Republican candidate who has decreased the Democratic candidates double digit lead to a single point.

Any advice on increasing the effectiveness of such an experiment would be very welcome.
