The MacJury marches into dangerous territory by taking on the topic of technology and the United States Presidential election. While trying (and failing) to be objective, the panel discusses:
• The existence of a tech constituency
• The importance of tech savvy in a chief executive
• Both campaigns use of social networks
MacJury asks, “Are political campaigns held to different standards of privacy and perception than corporate marketing efforts? Are there dangers in being a vocal participant in the election debates? Why can’t you donate to either campaign with PayPay?”
All these and many more election tech topics are debated (MP3 audio, 57:33) by the panel (Joe Kissell, Tom Negrino, Dori Smith, Chuck Joiner) here.
Ron Paul
This one is going to be the record breaker. Six pages of political slugfest, easy.
Let the games begin!
September must be a slow month for MDN with ad revenue.
PALIN-mccain
All I know is that the map is rapidly turning red for McCain:

McCain totally destroyed Obama on the V.P pick.
Obama’s clearly not smart enough to be president.
Obama can’t even compete with Palin much less McCain.
Here we go
Just remember “It’s not over till the fat lady sings”.
Holy cow, this has been up for a few minutes, and only positive McCain-Palin stuff.
I wish one of the parties would stand up and say WTF when it comes to technology and start talking about how far we have fallin.
MDN Magic Word: society
McCain-Plain win in landslide
Major U.S. inner cites burn as blacks riot
Just remember “It’s not over till the fat lady sings”.
Hillary and Tipper Gore are no longer in the residential election scene.
@ Quad Core,
Don’t worry. I’m sure the libs will start spewing their venom shortly.
“McCain totally destroyed Obama on the V.P pick.”
Indisputable.
“Major U.S. inner cites burn as blacks riot”
Except Chicago, because Obama has organized it…it’s very orderly.
Not this crap again.
I’m outta here.
Everybody just start walking towards water!
We’ll push these elitist, out-of-touch, pie-in-the-sky Libs right off the margins they currently occupy:

If you’d post some news stories, and not just the ones favorable to Apple, there’d be no need for stuff like this, MDN.
“”McCain totally destroyed Obama on the V.P pick.””
If by ‘destroyed’ you mean picked a completely unqualified candidate based on her ability to pander to both women and extreme right wing fundamentalist religion voters, while putting this country’s security at stake, then yes, you would be correct.
Palin is a joke, all lies from the small town mayor. If McCain dies can you all really see Palin running the country? A nightmare that I hope never comes true….Obama 08! Crazy fools!!! Wake up!!!
R2,
Tell it to the MacJury, not MDN.
Obama? Seriously? The guy has no qualifications. He hasn’t finished a term as a senator. And he has Joe Biden, one of the Washington insiders. He’s been in the Senate since Julius Caeser…….
Me, I’m for LESS government. I’m NOT for national health care, I’m FOR less taxes. I’m FOR securing the borders. So, I’m voting Republican.
Wild-eyed Liberals.
Keep denigrating Palin, it’s working perfectly.
Obama’s comparing himself to Sarah Palin simply illustrates that he’s too inept to be elected.
Obama’s claim to fame is running his campaign… into the ground!
Like Lemmings to the shore, divide and conquer is the order of the day.
Continue all this petty in-fighting while the real power sits back and laughs.
Go back to sleep America, nothing has changed, and nothing will, as long as we are a polarized people. Remember, a house divided cannot stand.
Now, back to our show!
“He’s been in the Senate since Julius Caeser…….”
That would put McCain as a mentor to Gnaeus Octavius.
( . . . glass houses?)
@anakinpedro…
generalize much?
