F*cking spam!

Today I checked the referer logs of this page and I found that there was a link from John Kerry's Blog. Basically, a referer means that somebody arrived to this page via some other page. This is carried out by the browser, since it sends the originating page as part of the request to the web server to retrieve the new page. But it is also a form of spam to "inject" false referers that will show up when browsing the statistics. I wasn't expecting anything like this from the persons running the page of a candidate for president of the United States (I doubt he's got anything to do with it) The blog page looks like the official one but I'm not sure, and the whole thing could've done by somebody completely unrelated to campaign, but it still doesn't really surprise me now that they're going to spam the mailboxes of their voters
