Nit-picking aside, almost anything that helps individuals to become more personally active with politics is a positive in my book.

I think though, the intent of the article was not to go into the impact of political websites on American Democracy, but instead a web-design critique on the personal websites of politicians. Sure, you could do the same with any other political sites, but as much influence as they may have, nothing better illustrates a candidate's/campaign's own perspective of their internet presence than their own site.
