Internet Co-inventor Vint Cerf Endorses Obama

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday October 15, 2008 @02:08AM from the time-to-play-that-game dept.

SEAActionFund writes "Vint Cerf, Google's Chief Internet Evangelist who also happens to be credited with co-founding the Internet, submitted a video to our AVoteforScience YouTube challenge. In it he discusses the importance of net neutrality and endorses Barack Obama specifically because he supports net neutrality (John McCain does not.) The AVoteForScience challenge calls upon scientists to upload videos to YouTube explaining who they are voting for and why. The first two videos were by Cerf and the 2008 Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry Marty Chalfie. Any Slashdotters game for explaining who they are voting for and why?" Still waiting for one of the campaigns to ask for my endorsement, which is totally available to whichever campaign offers me the better cabinet seat.

Well, the main reason Obama's doing so well is that people agree that he "looks presidential" when he's talking about the economic crisis. For better or for worse, electoral politics is very much about personality.
