Democratic and Liberal political analysis and commentary

Is it important to you that our next president be a savvy Internet user? How about even knowing how to turn the gall-durn thing on?

Well, if it's not important for your candidate, to borrow a phrase, to know how to surf those "internets," then John McCain is your man.

In this post, there is a video of an interview with McCain where they ask him if he uses a Mac or a PC. Incredibly, he replied "neither," adding that his foxy little minx Cindy surfs the internets for him.

I just completed some research at work on CEOs. It was interesting. Most of the leaders of large companies use the internet at a higher rate and access it more times per day than the average U.S. adult. When asked what they are doing, they responded, "researching and verifying information."

After eight years of George W. Bush, perhaps the most incurious president we have ever seen, I'll take a smart, savvy president any old time. Not knowing how to use a computer tells me that McCain, like George Bush, will rely solely on others to tell him what is what, instead of reaching out and learning himself. That alone would be enough for me not to support him.
