McCain is not even a 'generalist' when it comes to the internet. He'll be asking advice of the many telecom industry lobbyists on his staff, as he knows nothing.
Databases in government and on Americans? E-mail surveillance systems in the White House? Internet neutrality? McCain admits he doesn't know much about economics; his constant fumbling over foreign policy facts indicate he's understanding of the world is hazy - and the main communications and perhaps commercial engine in the U.S. is a personal blank. Like when he repeats talking points from eBay's owners about an "eBay economy."
He is not running for "President of the Fighter Pilots of America." He's running as the civilian commander of the military. Even with his bad temper. A military unfortunately which is the ONLY thing he understands. His election will lead to the further militarization of the U.S.
