In fairness, you took a screenshot of Obama’s homepage vs. a shot of a blog post from McCain. Apples and Oranges.
No doubt, though, Obama’s site design is great. So was Ron Paul’s.

Actually, I just clicked on the button that I thought would take me to his homepage. Seems that he wanted to hide that button down and below his video. I’d say it’s Apples to Apples, just Delicious vs. Granny Smith. ;)

McCain’s design reminds me of a local news station’s website. A bit of visual yelling, perhaps from disjointedness (like the right hand doesn’t know what the left is doing) or a generous dollop of ever-changing standards. It all boils down to a visual language that doesn’t sit right in the stomach.
My least favorite part? Most every picture of McCain and Palin are patch-jobs with decidedly unmatching light sources. Obama Biden get this detail wrong too, but somehow they manage to blast out the tones and pump up the contrast to bring some cohesion to the mix.
…as if we were talking about ethanol subsidies…

Paul Jenkins with a a reasonable take on Rick Warren speaking at the Obama inauguration:
Barack Obama’s choice of Rick Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration is dreadful. His explanation is, if possible, even worse. He shrinks Warren’s grotesque comparisons down to a “disagreement,” as if we were talking about ethanol subsidies. But we are not. In fact, we are not even talking about marriage rights, we are talking about demonizing an entire group of Americans for the purpose of religious indoctrination, political gain and financial profit. Or doing so out of sheer hatred and idiocy. Or both.
Obama Wins, Infographics Are Nice

Not much to say, except, “thank god, if there is one.”
If Not for CHANGE, Vote for Good Design!

I’ll let you be the judge on this one. :)

that’s odd, that infographic is missing Austin, Texas entirely (which voted for Obama by an almost 30 point margin and contributed 600,000 votes…)

This is because I took the screenshot before the election was over, and texas had been counted.
