McCain Links Up to Potential Voters on LinkedIn

Senator John McCain debuted with a question on LinkedIn this morning, with over 500 connections in his profile – something that takes less well-known people months or even years to accomplish unless they make LinkedIn a hobby.   The question, "What is the Biggest Challenge America Faces? received 70 answers in 9 hours. Althought less anwers than Bill Gates receieved, Senator McCain is the first national political figure to leverage a truly business-oriented social network to ask questions about what is important in American politics to a hyper-connected technology and business savvy network.  At last count, over 1,680 people have now responded to Senator McCain's question.  We would not rule out increased momentum online for the McCain campaign as they show their savvy for using mediums not yet tested by Senators Obama or Clinton.  View McCain's linkedin group here.

McCain Wins Florida - What it Means to Tech Companies

I met Senator John McCain last May at the Wall Street Journal's "All Things Digital 'D' Conference." He was surrounded by some of Silicon Valley's best and brightest including Cisco's leader John Chambers. My prediction is that high tech firms such as Cisco will benefit from McCain's victory, and my perception from observation is that there has long been a partnership between McCain and some of the leading tech firms in both the valley and the beltway. Despite the liberal democrat stereotype of northern California voters, McCain's pro-business, pro-technology stance is bound to win votes in Silicon Valley. Fully six times more venture capital flows into Silicon Valley than any other region in the U.S. New England and Orange County, CA follow but are a distant second and third. Giuliani spoke at the Churchill Club in San Jose a few months ago. Now I think it is McCain's turn.
