The santorum definition is a media campaign, just like any other. I don't see why it should be penalized because it attempts to spread what some might consider the distatefullness of Santorum's political views.
You can call ANY attempt to game Google's SERPs a "media campaign, just like any other". Spam is spam.

My guess is that since Google is in bed with the Obama administration, we would never see anything like this.
The majority of people are supporting it because they hate rick Santorum and don't want him to become president.
It also makes me question the validity of the opposition. Rather than trying to win with logic and reason, many resort to mud-slinging, rumors, and false information. Tactics I despise.
My hunch is correct (taken from the above poster): http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/24/michelle-obama-phot...
This is an example of state-controlled media (IE: Google is in Bed with the Obama administration). How is this in any way okay?
Your guess is correct.
Certainly.
Yes. The internet should work the same for everyone, whether they are running for president or are merely John Q. Citizen.
