Tech Review

It's never good to get less attention unless you're Britney Spears and you're exiting a vehicle. On the other hand, it's important to interpret data. With that in mind, this:

Unless we’re just not hearing about it, there seems to be almost no voter-generated activity occuring on behalf of McCain. Yet the anti-McCain Yes We Can parody has been viewed more than 700,000 times. On our charts, McCain has so many fewer Facebook supporters, YouTube views, and blog mentions than Obama (or Clinton) that it’s hard to even compare them. We wonder how well this lack of online enthusiasm bodes for him.

That may be so, but it also seems to me that Obama supporters are the kind of people who get teary-eyed at Black-Eyed Peas mouthing Obamagrams, chuckle (sometimes hatefully) at photoshopped pictures of the uncool, and enjoy youtube, Facebook, and other sites where cleverness, sarcasm, meanness, and charisma are the currency of choice.

Most conservatives are talk-radio and, along with the left, blog-oriented. That's how we communicate, not through Twitter posts ("I'm here at an Obama rally: People are fainting left and right!).

I agree that McCain's Space or whatever isn't too great, but it's meant to raise money (mine's below) not facilitate hookups.

Finally, I hope an organized and quality McCain forum does materialize. I'm part of this one. I'll join the Facebook one, I guess.
