If they want me to vote for Obama, then they had better quit shoving him down my throat.

Think about it, he must rely on other people to write everything for him because he can't type. So how much of his writing is his and how much is entirely written by other people? Of course other people edit and help out a candidate with writing pieces, but you like to think they at least had input or did a first draft. McCain can't look up specific information on his own. Of course people used to go to libraries to do research, but do you see him doing research in libraries? How many newspapers and magazines does he read and does he read them in hard copy? He has to rely on his wife and staff to do anything on the computer, and he's said that he <i>hopes to get online</i> on his own. No, I don't want someone like that running the country. Bush has bragged about not reading newspapers. (Just like Madonna.) I want someone in charge who takes feedback and who values the Internet and as an information and communication tool. It has entirely shaped our society. McCain rejected a bill that would put even dial-up access in all schools. (I heard that on a special on NPR about the candidates technology policy differences.) And Obama is going to appoint a "chief technology officer" level cabinet position to ensure that government is brought up to date and that many government processes are easy for citizens to complete while information is as transparent as possible. All McCain's tech guy could tell NPR was that McCain uses the phone to consult experts directly. That must be convenient. Yes, it does make a difference if someone can't even type or go to cnn.com in 2008. My dad is in his 60s and he's been online for 10 years. And I know a 91 year-old woman who has used e-mail for years. McCain is a senator. He should be able to use a computer for basic things, and he can't.

I was really, really depressed when Hillary Clinton had to drop out of the race, and yet I always sensed that she & Obama had some love & respect for each other even during the height of their javelin-tossing campaigning against each other for the top spot. I was so certain that Clinton would get it and she'd take Obama on as part of her staff somehow even as her running mate/V.P., but now that it seems it might be this exact scenario yet reversed, I can definitely live with this.

Bill Clinton doesn't either! Vanity Fair ran an article about Hillary's campaign and added that tidbit. C'mon - politicians have people to do the little things for them.

Never been on the internet??? And this guy wants to be the leader of the free world but he has no clue on how to use a computer. Yes, let's let the old guy run our country on Bush economics and hope for the best :lol: How old is McCain? 100? Never been on the internet???

Especially Ben and Matt who have already proven to be "helpful" with Kerry. They come across as shallow and not the smartest. They lead an ostentatious life and you do not want that when you try to bring a new kind of leadership. It is a mistake to have celebrities “help” you.
