Although the article is satire, it does show the decision making process each candidate/staff took (although it might not have carried much weight, and may not actually affect the way they govern) when they were faced with the task of "I need a campaign website."
- wheels 18y agoNo, it doesn't. It shows that Obama's staff / volunteers are more tech savvy than McCain's. Anyone surprised? The candidate's aren't sitting around picking web servers and figuring out 404 pages. Nobody that was that obsessive of a micromanager could have gotten as far as they have.
- twism 18y agoSure the candidates are not picking web servers and what not, but I'm sure they had some influence by hiring the most qualified staff, who were versed in the subject at hand, who hired (or hired the staff who hired ...) the people who made the website.
- etal 18y agoExactly. Any fool can see that all Obama did was set up some Gentoo instances, compile Apache and PHP with the appropriate CFLAGS, and let his people do their work.
- maxklein 18y agoThe impressive part is that he did that while holding a speech. With his toes.
- netcan 18y agoWell then it might show ability to pick the right person for the job. Or more likely, the right person to pick the right person.
