		<description>All of the marketing in the world can&#039;t disguise the fact that Obama is a Marxist, and that when the debates get rolling he is going to get creamed. He can&#039;t speak in impromptu situations and has yet to elucidate what he really believes in.</description>

		<description>Christopher,

That is certainly fair, (and dead on no doubt)  but what is now happening is that the powerful minority (early adopters, bloggers and marketers) have decided they like Barak.  Now those people have actually set out to sabotage McCain using SEO tactics to drive searches for John McCain to sites that actually disparage him.  (think &quot;miserable failure&quot;)

And those people who don&#039;t really understand that will search google, and boom all they see is bad stuff.  Its the plan anyway, we will see how it goes.

But still you are certainly right.  But this was mostly about Social network Marketing and much less about the race :)

Still fun though, thanks for your thoughts!</description>

		<description>You bring up some good points about BHO &quot;knowing the Web&quot; vs. McCain who doesn&#039;t &quot;understand the Internet.&quot;

While your assumptions may hold true on who will win, you&#039;re missing a huge piece of the puzzle. A very large portion of the voting age population does not use any type of social media, nor do they see any need to.

The majority of people over the age of 40 have no idea what a Facebook is or why they would want one. Twitter? Sounds like a funny dance. E-Mail is about as technologically forward as they get.

Even when I talk to many of my peers (I still have a three in my age), many have no idea what is out there beyond their own walls.

Will the 5% (just a guess) of early adopters, bloggers, and Internet marketers be able to carry BHO? Only time will tell. One thing is certain, those of us in &quot;the business&quot; need to look outside our walls and realize there is a world beyond our computer screen where others exist.</description>
