Who operates the barackobama.com website now?
Edited on Thu Jan-29-09 10:20 PM by bluestateguy
I see that it is still running and is regularly updated. But who runs it? The White House can't operate it because the website is an overtly political site, and that would seem to violate the Hatch Act. Does the DNC operate it? Or is someone from the campaign running it? I seem to remember that Obama still had some campaign cash left after the election.

1. Obama for America is a PAC

and President Obama can still run it as long as he wants as long as he doesn't involve paid white house staff in running it.

The democratic party is actually hiring field organizers right now to run the democratic grassroots efforts in swing states and vulnerable GOP house districts for 2010. Barack Obama can use his website to support those efforts based on FEC rules.

2. Plouffe is probably running it...
He's not part of the White House staff.
