@Brandon - this is totally off topic but I thought you had to be a citizen to be in the US Army. Apparently not.

@seb841 - Much like you I’m a Permanent Resident. I’ve been in the US since I was a kid and although I’ve been in the US Army, for many reasons I’ve never wanted to give up my Canadian Citizenship so I never applied to become a Citizen. I still can’t decide one way or the other… sometimes I think I’ll end up wanting to move to someplace like Victoria, BC - sometimes I think I’ll never end up leaving Colorado. Although everyday I wish I could vote, just so I could vote some of these people the heck out of office

Brandon, why can’t you vote? Are you in Canada or something? I can’t vote either as I am not a US citizen (just a Resident). Anyways.

As Psylichon said, Obama has the edge in tech but Ron Paul was the one making a killing off the internet. He had his own iPhone optimized site a year ago. Obviously that wasn’t enough but still, I think Ron Paul was a “web politics pioneer”.

Regardless of political affiliations, I think we all can agree that this is a brilliant idea. Obama’s camp definitely has the edge in tech sectors because of these sorts of new avenues for campaigning.
