candidates and parties — in proportions that exceed the Internet
as a whole. We spent some time using Netcraft to check out what
sites were running what. Not surprisingly, the Apache Web server
was in wide usage among candidates and parties — in proportions
that exceed the Internet as a whole. While we don’t want to draw

that the more rebellious the candidate — on either end of the
spectrum — the more likely they were to use Apache.”
