This reminds me...what if this technology was used on redmeat.com? Let's hope that Max Cannon doesn't combine iSmell with this (with apologies to M.C).
I think that John McCain is probably the best Presidential candidate running. Even though he has, at best, weak ideas on Internet policy and usage, his ideas are better than other candidates, who have either bad things in store for us or simply no plan at all. George Dubya? No plan that I know of. Ditto Alan Keyes, Orrin Hatch, and that Gary Bauer guy that nobody knows anything about. Steve Forbes? Hell, if anyone else saw the debate in New Hampshire on 2 December, you would know that he can't even pronounce Linux correctly ("Lunix," anyone?). I don't think he'll be getting my vote. Now the Democrats. Al Gore? Well, since he invented the Internet, he might know what's best for it. On the other hand, he might want to stifle it in response to all the jokes about it made at his expense. And if Bill Bradley has any thoughts on this subject, I haven't heard them. Maybe some of the third-party candidates could better hold the title of Candidate For The Geeks. I don't know. But, all quixotic vote-as-an-individual thoughts aside, I don't think any five of them could combine their votes and come up with something to challenge a more mainstream candidate. But maybe I'm biased; my girlfriend *does* work on McCain's campaign...
