The e-mail advertisement was run on the evening news today. The advert. is referenced in the article scriptoriumdaily.com "2. Obama is running ads that are harming his campaign. His latest “McCain is old” and “he cannot use a computer” meme is a very, very bad idea. Insight for the youngsters reading this blog: All my life the candidate for president who relied on the youth vote lost. I have never seen a candidate go out of his way to make everyone over fifty dislike him. Why? Those folk vote and they dislike being prematurely sent out to pasture. In fact, they hate it. Instead of pivoting to the middle, Obama keeps stirring up the already committed. What is the point? If McCain runs ads targeted to me, then he has foolishly wasted his money. Obama is running ads for his fans. Why? Why? Why? " MJ Comment: I would much rather have a leader who is not caught up in the minutiae of e-mail and computers. A leader who is not tied to this minutiae can stand back and take a general look at the big picture---- Given that McCain has problems with the use of his shoulder and arms from the torture when he was imprisoned in Vietnam, I am not surprised that he would want to avoid the use of a computer. Computers exacerbate, neck and spine problems as well as carpal tunnel in the wrists. For Obama to criticize McCain for his not using e-mail is juvenile. But just keep posting those naive ads------those over 50 will keep moving to McCain-----while all ages will recognize the speciousness of the advertisement.
