Please don't start pimping politics here. Save it for Digg.

This is story #17 on a variation of "My Candidate is more tech-friendly than yours"

The formula is simple. Whatever the board's topic, just add something about your candidate to that. Then claim it is on-topic. Everybody who doesn't like your candidate is stuck having to figure out how to respond, not wanting to get into a political discussion, yet not wanting to see the board go to hell either.

Ok. Ok. Enough already. Candidate X has technology Y. We can argue how Y is cool (or not), how X is cool (or not) or how X choosing Y demonstrates, yet again, that X is cool.

Substitute parameters and repeat ad-infinitum.

This is exactly what I thought. This item was meant to be a geeky satire that pokes fun at both candidates.

Call it a bit comic relief for something that is taken so seriously!

I definitely agree with that
