For example, corporations donating services are probably more likely to provide a commercial OS/Server than a group of IT grunts who want to volunteer services but don't see a point in buying commercial licenses.

Any significance? Nope. (Score:5, Funny)
From the article:
Is there any significance to what Web server/platform combinations 2004 presidential candidates are using?
I'm glad this was posted to 'The Lighter Side'. However, that probably won't stop people from drawing ironclad conclusions from the data.
Hint: political candidates' performance is not linked to the performance of their webservers.

Sys Admins and Webmasters make those decisions and I'm betting the ones running the Democrat candidate websites have to worry about where they spend money. Thus they us OSS software.
Of course they are also running the better webserver

While waiting for the article to crawl out from under the Slashdotting, here's an aside I thought was interesting: a recent article talking about Howard Dean's succesful use of the Internet for fundraising noted that perhaps the first candidate to use that method successfully was -- that Judge Roy Whatever in Alabama with the 10 Commandments statue in his courtroom.
Not someone I would have picked as a high-tech visionary, although he obviously is pretty shrewd about media manipulation.

Edwards, OpenSource, & Macs (From Campaign HQ) (Score:5, Informative)
(If you cruise over to Larry Lessig's blog [lessig.org]John Edwards is guest blogging on a variety of tech topics this week.)
We use a handful of open-source tools here at Campaign HQ. Why? Cost and reliability. The same reason you guys choose this stuff.
Oh... And our entire Web Team runs on Mac OS X. Contrary to one of the comments posted earlier, Senator Edwards made it clear during Tuesday's debate that he prefers his Mac.
I hope you folks have a chance to learn more about John Edwards [johnedwards2004.com].
