In turn, a recent Obama TV ad makes a none-too-subtle dig at McCain's age in saying McCain hasn't changed in the last 26 years. It shows McCain at a hearing in the early 1980s, wearing giant glasses and an out-of-style suit. "He admits he still doesn't know how to use a computer, can't send an e-mail, still doesn't understand the economy, and favors $200 billion in new tax cuts for corporations, but almost nothing for the middle class," the commercial says.Truth is, he can. Truth is, his war injuries from time spent as a POW prevent him from typing.
Obama wants to turn this into a "John McCain is out of touch"? I'd rather praise McCain for it.
Thanks Senator McCain, for not sticking your head into a computer screen or a Crackberry and actually looking people in the eye. Thanks for not worrying about what other people think. Thanks for going above and beyond the call when your disability prevents you from doing certain basic things. I bet a lot of people admire that and connect to you. I also bet a lot of people in your age-bracket, and younger- don't use a computer. (Keyword, don't.) My 93 year old grandma used one until she was 89. But she'd rather call me than email me.
Despite what our economic advisors would say, computers don't rule the world. Email's handy, but I'd rather make meaningful relationships by talking to people, rather than communicate solely by electronics. I want a President who listens, not one who's burried in technology. John McCain can do plenty without a hotmail account blowing up everyday.

Good blog. Discovered it via Casting Crowns search. Hope you're doing all you can to crack-down on the massive democrat voter-fraud your State suffered in 04 and 06.
I've been there. Outside of the People's Republic of Madison, most of the folks have some common sense and PALIN/mccain might eke out a victory.
