I do not understand why anyone interested in technology issues would support the Democrats.

"The vast majority of technology executives are in the Bush camp. There are certain people active on the other side: [Novell CEO] Eric Schmidt, [Apple CEO] Steve Jobs, and [eBay CEO] Meg Whitman. But I can't think of any other major CEOs," Coleman says.



Other high-tech bigwigs advising Gore include 3Com Chairman Eric Benhamou and Erlich Ev, of Embarcadero Systems, an Alameda, Calif.-based marine terminals solution provider, Vega says.



But Eskew took a swing at the lack of inclusion in the Democrat's high-tech platform.



"The high-tech community did not get involved in the drafting of that platform. Governor Bush brings together leaders on technology issues. Al Gore goes it alone, because he thinks he knows best," Eskew says.
