Whatever you feel politically, at least the Democrats used a US company to build their version. And it was even done in Perl

Protectionism simply doesn't work.

That would've been nice. Also, the ability to use it without MSIE would be nice.

I'm not saying it does. I just think it's kinda sad that a US political party doesn't show their confidence in US enterprises just to save a few bucks. If they're willing to outsource this work at the campaign level, they'll carry that same mindset to the bureaucratic positions later on.
And I do think that a government keen on outsourcing when there's a perfectly good industry at home is a bad idea.

That makes no sense to me, at all. It hurts U.S. businesses in the long run to pay them more to do work that others will do for less. Far from showing a lack of confidence, what it does is encourage them to do a better job for less money. Competition makes us all better in the long run.
What's sad is that our economy has become so bloated that U.S. companies can't compete.

Good. We need less protectionism in government.
