Finger on the (Mouse) Button ...

Meanwhile, McCain's office is scrambling to recover funds after the candidate forwarded the campaign's account information to Nigeria.

"greatest" is relative thus must show why this guy is better than others.....Axelrod of the Daley machine, Plouffe, etc.
"greatest ever" implies longitudinally ie during his long career in politics.

I'd say the guy who told him to litigate his two opponents off the ballot in his state senate primary -- leaving Barck the only Democrat to vote for in a 80% democratic district -- gets props.

that Alice Palmer probably would have beaten him and he'd be unkown today otherwise.

Really, SusanUnPC? Are those facts or fabrications? With you, how can we tell if you're running another smear or not?

Did you see that Obama says he'll step out of the convention to give his acceptance speech for the Dem nomination in front of 75,000 fans instead of in front of Dem party delegates?

To get back to the subject, I don't think the ability to, ahem, harness the power of Myspace means anything at all except in the echo chamber of places like Myspace. Obama's got a lot of things going for him, but mybarackobama.com isn't really one of them. The current dustup over internet blowhard Mike Stark's protest shows just how petty and stupid the whole subject is.

McCain, on the other hand, has a number of serious problems with his candidacy, but not personally being able to use the internet isn't one of them. Nobody cares.

Oh my God, I just checked out this "McCainSpace" site, and found that it's almost all in black-and-white like an episode of I Love Lucy.

What. The Fuck. Is wrong with those people.

In unrelated news, the "financial whiz" that got Ron Paul on the web died this past week (in Saturday's Wall Street Journal) - and naturally, the selfish prick didn't have health insurance and owed $400,000 that he expected everyone else in society to pick up for him.

I wish I was powerful and rich enough to not have to use a computer, ever. Bonus points if he's never even bothered to hold a cell phone to his ear.
