I am hoping that there will be an addition to the Issues section of this site soon on this isue. I am seeing a bit of traffic on the BLOGS on this. A statement was sent to one of my favorite blogs:

But nothing to:

more on this soon, I hope.
Palin has inspired many things...WHere can I post them?

OK this is huge. This is "it's the economy stupid" huge.
McCain's brain is in the typewriter age. His campaign thinks email and text messaging information to suscribers is a radically expensive outreach to youth. This shows the candidates comfort level with technology and almost more importantly, his comfort level with dealing with tech savvy people. THIS SHOWS THAT MCCAIN DOES NOT LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO ARE COMFORTABLE USING TECHNOLOGY TO COMMUNICATE.
OK. K.I.S.S.
Obama understands current technology. This is the technology not of high school students IMing for dates, but business people with blackberries, sales people and farmers.
My 79 year old Mother has a cell phone and emails daily. How can Mccain develop an economic policy depending on technology and green jobs when he is not as tech savvy as my 79 year old mother?
How can someone keep us globally competitive who does not know how to Google?
How can McCain run a modern war when all of his assumptions and reactions are based on 40 year old experience and tactics? He is stuck in the VIetnam era, and we lost that war.
Who can lead us into the future? WHo can help find tomorrows solutions today? Not Mccain. He does not understand todays solutions.
Sorry still geeking out.
I just listened to NPR's Talk of the Nation where they discussed the VP announcement blasting out through new technologies. I really disagreed with the prevelant opinion that this did not reveal superior leadership.
Think. A leader who is aware of existing technologies, and how the country uses these ways of communication is inherently more able to use these tools when considering solutions to Americas problems. How could a President really take technology into consideration when creating new economic strategies when that president does not even know how to text message or Google? Or who is not even savvy enough to hire staff who helps integrate technology and its increased ability to connect with the will of the American people?
So I am waiting not so much for the 30 second lead on who the VP will be, but for the outreach from a candidate for the 21st century.
