Political Validation & if it means anything

So I was surfing whitehouse.gov and i figured I'd check out how well it does on validation. Here are some of my findings.

Whitehouse.gov - 160 Errors - XHTML 1.0 Transitional
johnmccain.com - 132 Errors - HTML 4.01 Transitional
barackobama.com - 197 Errors - XHTML 1.0 Transitional

Wow! I know many people can consider standards a joke but still, I wonder what else we can find...

nsa.gov - 26 Errors - XHTML 1.0 Transitional
cia.gov - 22 Errors - XHTML 1.0 Transitional
ed.gov - 10 Errors - HTML 4.01 Transitional
army.mil - 0 Errors - Valid XHTML Transitional
navy.mil - 20 Errors - HTML 4.01 Transitional
marines.mil - 110 Errors - No Doctype
af.mil - 87 Errors - No Doctype


//Since I'm from GA lets check out my state's page

georgia.gov - 148 Errors - XHTML 1.0 Transitional

//And my school
georgiasouthern.edu - 38 Errors - No Doctype

//Finally my own silly page
prxi.net - 0 Errors - Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict
//Not much to be proud of here. There's virtually nothing to the site! :D

Most of these sites at least looked nice, except for the NSA, whose site looked like it was designed in the 90's. (Note! I did not look at the flash version of their site)

What does this prove? It depends on what you get out of error validation checking and doctype declaration
