seriously people. this isn't about supporting the guy or not, this is a technology article about how the campaign is leveraging the same thing businesses are to push their success.

regardless of who you support or how you feel about it, this is a major milestone along the road of closer interaction between campaigns and individuals, just like phone banking and online fundraising, and that's pretty freakin' awesome.

the McCain campaign has released an application designed for telegraphs, consisting of a red crayon and a piece of paper.

how f****** stupid do you have to be, after 8 years of Bush/Cheney, to support four more years of the same old s***?

How can you not be completely embarrassed by that f****** Bible-thumping know-nothing Sarah Palin?

how can anyone with the intelligence sufficient to turn on a computer, not be appalled by McCain's constant flip-flopping and his bizarre stunts like the so-called 'campaign suspension'? Or his well-known temper issues? Do you really want someone who is prone to fly off the handle and commit himself to bizarre, impetuous stunts to have his finger on the button???

Seriously, if you are not filthy rich or a Bible-thumping Xian Taliban nutjob, what do you see in McCain? Good god, that GOP kool-aid has got to be some pretty strong stuff.

McCain is waiting to launch his application on the Blackberry.

The number of new Macnn registrants increases three-fold as we see political flame wars.

"how f****** stupid do you have to be, after 8 years of Bush/Cheney, to support four more years of the same old s***?"

you answered your own question. they have to be f****** stupid, not just the regular kind.

read their posts. there's not a thought among them. they're like cattle being led to the slaughter. this way? duh, okey dokey.

And all I get is a "Change" button... but nothing changes.

Finally we are getting out the dark ages that the republicans have kept us in for the pas 8 years.

The President is:
-Commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

-Signs / vetoes bills passed by Congress.

- Appoints cabinet members, federal judges and ambassadors.

_ Creates treaties.

The US Congress creates laws (Bills).

IF you are expecting real change, then perhaps you might want to think about changing the branch of government that is responsible for creating the bills in the first place? The President signs bills into law after they are created and approved by congress.

Of course on the other hand, it is easier to just blame everything on the President.

I wish Obama was Socialist, then he might actually have some liberal positions. For now, I am voting none of the 2 corporate/conservative parties. I would be happy with almost any other candidate as long as they are not Republican or Democrat.

In order for change to happen, we need the same party as both the president and the majority party in congress. You can't pass bills in congress when the president vetoes all your bills.

Really, According to the us Senate's own web page since 2006, there has been a whopping 12 Presidential vetoes. Twelve vetoes is hardly "all your bills".

Oh you poor Americans. Sadly you all did it to yourselves. The US will always be screwed up as long as its a two party system with both parties being more similar then different. The world is watching Obama, go Obama.

I wonder how this app would work on a phone outside of the US, I have a few American contacts on my phone. I wonder :)

And all I get is a "Change" button... but nothing changes.

O.K, that's the funniest political post I've ever read. Doesn't matter WHO you vote for, that's gotta make you laugh. I'm thinking I should write that app and put it up for sale. Think Apple will allow it?

I voting for Bugs Bunny! He can dodge bullets, give a joke and take a joke. Not very good with directions but is well travelled! Vote Bug Bunny for President! Who would your vote be for if you could chose anyone?

If that app was downloaded on my Iphone, it would be the sold reason for my stomping the damned phone to pieces. It makes me laugh thinking that the Obama loons can even spell technology.

I better not get any calls from anyone wanting me to vote for Obama or Mccain... Who i vote for is my business and no idiot is calling me to try and persuade me one way or the other....

I can see the headlines now:

"Obama Drinks Milk; GOP Renames it 'Satanjuice'"

The man couldn't f*** in his own bathroom without someone claiming they've never farted and would move to Canada if someone who had ever farted became President.

Matt Taibbi says it best

The truly disgusting thing about Sarah Palin isn't that she's totally unqualified, or a religious zealot, or married to a secessionist, or unable to educate her own daughter about s**, or a fake conservative who raised taxes and horked up earmark millions every chance she got. No, the most disgusting thing about her is what she says about us: that you can ram us in the a** for eight solid years, and we'll not only thank you for your trouble, we'll sign you up for eight more years, if only you promise to stroke us in the right spot for a few hours around election time.

You know the only way Republicans get elected is to admit how ignorant they are and then try to pass it off as being one of the people. Well, not everyone wants a moron to be president. Look what happened the last 8 years.

There is no difference between the two parties, Nobama=Socialism McSame=Fascism

Stop voting for globalist puppets!

Write in Ron Paul or vote third party!

Please delete this thread! It's embarrassing!

... just to make you a******* cry.

Nov. 5th will be a delight. Go read an electoral map (unless you're Sarah Palin and can't grasp such things) and weep.

Jeez that's like 8 posts from 8 new accounts - isn't there a way to stop people wasting our time with rubbish politically motivated posts.

I vote based on intelligence, temperament, pragmatism, and competence. Obama has these by the bucket full. His intelligence is beyond question, he's calm and sensible, and the way he has run his campaign is solid evidence of judgment and competence.

This iPhone app is a very small thing, but it is a sign of a well-run, smart, modern campaign.

What's with all the hyper-partisan c*** in the comments. It's nice to see a candidate embracing technology. Yay.

Now can we stop calling him Socialist? If you think Obama is socialist, you've clearly got no idea what a socialist actually is (and yes, it IS a bad thing).

about this election is the 'hatred'. The "us vs them" stuff. Hey, the last time I checked, we're all in the same boat. And that boat is steered by corporations with tons of lobbying power.

If you think anything in the USA is going to change after this election, you are truly naive.

That's a pretty slick application of technology. Nice to see a campaign take an innovative approach to something.
