- mc7winkie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Not if you block the political section. Ah ***** it. Stuff like this still manages to get passed despite me blocking it.
- mc7winkie, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Wait WTF this is a new section. Better start blocking it.

HAHA...Too bad most of the people who read Digg are not old enough to vote, the others will have mommy or daddy drive them to vote or maybe ride their bike.
- NICU, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Definitely inaccurate - they didn't mention the Wii or Ubuntu Linux yet, and how the PS3 will lose the 2008 election. There's no way you can submit an article about new technologies that don't mention either.

- tuxuser, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1whos betting they do get digg accounts? i for one thing many democrats will thats the party to put the money on.
- ZombieFlanders, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Site is down...they ain't helping in '08.
Oh, and According to Drudge, McCain will say he's running on Letterman tonight. Unfortunately it's not linked yet, so it could be a bogus Drudge speculation, which happens. But sometimes he gets it right on them. It's there on top of the page right now. And I agree, this place is going to be rowdy in '08! - BlackKrishna, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1It's good to know what technologies to use, but we should remember that the new President doesn't take the job until January of 2009 anyway. The early election cycle is starting just 4 months after the Democrats won the House and Senate, and is distracting us from demanding they do what they were elected to do - be an "opposition" party.
We have 2 years to worry about this and WW3 brewing in the Persian Gulf, it may be time to prioritize...
Peace, (NOW!!!)

- CyanSnowHawk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0They're all social networking sites. Nothing quite like throwing your whole prediction into a single basket. JibJab has got more potential to influence the election at this point.

This was stupid, nothing to do with elections and wasn't "technology" in the least. Just stupid thoughts about things that maybe 10 people might use.
That's my opinion so enjoy.- rebrad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have to agree. It seems some people have taken too many hits on the bong and think their ***** is important. Puny Stupid Humans.

It's a collection of search engines - one for each Candidate, where the Candidate's supporters can search the web and support their candidate. A share of the profits from the searches will go to supporting the Candidate.

Digg and YouTube falls into the Ning category.
I'm surprised he doesn't mention http://my.barakobama.com Barak's website it built on a social network not an "independent" draft site - TimDigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Really they forgot Google
- jizzatch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3 If you care about this country, you should vote for Ron Paul. Here's why
Are you aware that the US is treasonously being merged with Canada and Mexico to form a North American Union? Ron Paul is. Don't believe it? Go to spp.gov or google North American Union or Strategic Partnership Project.
Did you know that the Federal Reserve is neither federal nor a reserve, and it is actually a pyramid scheme of debt that can never be repaid? Ron Paul knows. Go to google video and search for a documentary called "Money as Debt." Our money is created out of thin air by a private corporation run by the world's ultra rich elite. They charge us interest, when we could be printing our own currency via the US Treasury. Kennedy was the last president to try to change this. Also, google the Creature from Jekyll Island.
Ron Paul has a 30 year voting record, and you can see that he votes with the US Constitution every time.
Ron Paul is a strict supporter of your 2nd Amendment gun rights, because he knows what happens when governments seize people's guns (See historical examples of Mao, Stalin, and Hitler).
Ron Paul believes that government is subserviant to the people and not the other way around.
Ron Paul is the "Taxpayers best friend," because he votes against big government, pork barrel spending.
In 2006, a "Technology voter guide" by CNET awarded Paul a score of 80%, the highest score out of both houses of Congress. Paul has been criticized for voting against legislation to help catch online child predators, one of the votes used in the CNET guide. In response to critics, Paul said, "I have a personal belief that the responsibility of raising kids, educating kids and training kids is up to the parents and not the state. Once the state gets involved, it becomes too arbitrary." He also believed that the proposed law was unconstitutional.
In 2005 he introduced H.R. 3037, the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2005, “to amend the Controlled Substances Act to exclude industrial hemp from the definition of marijuana, and for other purposes”.[20] This bill would have given the states the power to regulate farming of hemp. The measure would be a first since the national prohibition of industrial hemp farming in the United States.
On February 13, 2007 Rep. Ron Paul introduced H.R. 1009, the "Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2007," with nine original co-sponsors: Representatives Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Barney Frank (D-MA), Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ), Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), Jim McDermott (D-WA), George Miller (D-CA), Pete Stark (D-CA), and Lynn Woolsey (D-CA).
He believes that the Constitution does not give Congress the authority to ban or regulate drugs in general.
Paul is pro-life. However, Paul believes that the United States Constitution does not grant the federal government any authority to legalize or ban abortion. He believes that abortion is "not a constitutional issue" and should be a decision left to the legislatures of the states.
He is a man of principle, and his voting record attests to this. And, in spite of the Republican party's efforts to redistrict him out of office, he was overwhemingly reelected to Congress. If you want a real maverick who cares about the people, it's not John McCain. Vote for Ron Paul.
