I added the underlining in the second paragraph.

Very many interesting details how McCain used the 'net way back in 2000 for his unsuccessful run for the nomination. Read the whole article, which has to be excerpted here, per FR rules.

I guess the folks running the Dali Bama's were, what, playing Half-Life back in 2000, so it's understandable they missed these developments.

Found this article via the Baseball Crank's blog post POLITICS: Obama Walks Into A Minefield.

Too funny. Obama really stepped in it.

Gullett, in the article excerpt, is Wes Gullett, a McCain political aide he sent to Minnesota “to study Jesse Ventura’s successful gubernatorial campaign, which was the first to use the Web in an effective and innovative way.” (quoting the article).

But McCain's job as chairman of the Senate commerce committee forced him to learn about the Internet early on

It's mea culpa time. You were 100% dead wrong.

At 63, he is the oldest of the bunch...

Let's see...... McCain was born in 1936, it's now 2008.... 2008 minus 1936 equals 63. Yup, no credibility question here......

Comment from someone on the ‘Minefield’ article:

“He does have a Blackberry there are photos of him using it, and he’s spoken of it before. But he is a frail older man. That we have to consider.”

Frail older man! Good one.

The problem is easily solved. Did Arizona suffer in the IT sphere because of McCain?

The other problem is also easily solved: have the oceans begun to recede and the planet begun to heal after Obama’s victorious primary? He did say “THIS is the moment”... Lasers and satellites should be able to measure any improvement.

Qualifications for president:

Sara Palin, “I’m Governor of Alaska”.

Obama, “I can send email”.
