Techcrunch.com: It’s Obama and McCain
Michael Arrington, the blogger who posts on the site, Techcrunch.com, has endorsed Barack Obama on the Democratic side and John McCain on the Republican side for president.
He’s a little late since the primary season has already started. But he’s still well-read in the blogosphere, ranking number 2 on Forbes’ Web Celeb Top 25 behind Perez Hilton.
He based the endorsement partly on a vote on the web site but also on how the candidates stand on technology-related issues such as immigration, mobile spectrum and the digital divide.
Obama got 61 percent of the votes; McCain only 16 percent, well behind Ron Paul who garnered a whopping 74 percent.
McCain’s endorsement is a bit of a surprise. In an interview with ABC recently, Arrington said all of the candidates seem to be tech-savvy except McCain, who says he doesn’t use a computer.
Don’t you think the president should at least be able to do a Google search? Here’s an interview this morning with Arrington on Fox News where he talks about his picks.
