 Send to email | Obama, McCain Debate Via Twitter: How To Follow Along in General |  By Silicon

 Want to know what Barack Obama thinks about net neutrality? John McCain's views on white space spectrum? Good luck learning about that during any of this fall's official debates. But we're reasonably sure these and other issues will come up via a semi-formal debate the two campaigns are starting up today -- via Twitter.
Here are the pretty loose ground rules for the event, organized by Andrew Rasiej's Personal Democracy Forum: Sometime today, moderator Ana Marie Cox will start lobbing questions to two officially sanctioned stand-ins for the rival campaigns -- Mike Nelson, who's advising the Obama campaign on tech issues, and Liz Mair, online communcations director for the Republican National Committee. The debate is supposed to focus exclusively on tech, so if you're looking for arguments about Iraq or campaign financing, you're going to be disappointed. But since it's completely in the hands of Ana Marie, best known as the original Wonkette, we're betting it's going to be quite lively.
How to play along: You can "follow" all three particpants via Twitter (we've linked to each one above). Or you can search for their Tweets on Summize, using the "#pdfdebate" tag as a search term. Third option: A "Tweetboard" which lays out all of the players, side-by-side.
The event kicks off some time this evening, and is supposed to run through the weekend, at least. It's tied to PDF 2008, Andrew's impressive two-day tech-meets-politics conference, which kicks off Monday. Bonus for SAI readers: $100 off the $695 ticket price. Register online and enter "SAI" as the promotion code.
*Correction - please note updated Summize tag above.

| Lie back and enjoy it | | Senator McCain is attacking Barack Obama with an ad claiming Obama is the world's biggest political celebrity, on a par with Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. Others have noted that McCain is a bit of a celebrity himself, and, more importantly, the two blond starlets are not exactly at the top of today's celebrity charts. Indeed, as Jonathan Chait points out, neither is in the Forbes list of t [..] Read complete article | | Published 31-Jul-2008 by Thoughts in Policy and Politics

| Taking McSame to the woodshed | | Nitpicker's Terry Welch puts John McCain in his place:
I'm bothered by John McCain's response to Barack Obama, who pointed out that Webb's remodeled G.I. Bill is something McCain should get behind.…
I feel a true disdain for noncommissioned officers in what McCain is saying when he says the bill would encourage "people not to choose to become noncommissioned off [..] Read complete article | | Published 23-May-2008 by Thoughts in Policy and Politics

If elections were held on YouTube, Barack Obama would win hands-down -- so far. But the McCain campaign is making inroads on the Web, aided by some good old-fashioned attack ad. [..]
