By visiting http://www.mccainpedia.org, people will be a mouse-click away from the DNC's research on John McCain. Users can easily find and share information on a specific issue or use the data to create flyers, blog posts, or YouTube videos. McCainpedia follows FlipperTV, a unique online video tool launched in November of 2007 that allows users to watch, download, and use video taken by Democratic trackers of John McCain directly from the campaign trail.

McCainpedia is launching with an extensive collection of articles divided into broader categories such as domestic issues, economy, ethics, security, and social issues. Its wiki interface cross references topics, making it possible for users to search and explore inter-connected subjects easily and quickly, for example clicking through to detailed articles on "disclosure" when the word comes up in an article on the economy. McCainpedia also integrates FlipperTV and YouTube video alongside the text-based research. The library of articles will continue to grow and will be updated throughout the campaign in real-time.
