Tech4ObamaThis discussion thread was locked as off-topic by pinto (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum). Recent polls from Gallup and Pew have been pretty hard on President Obama. So given a recent blast of support from the tech community, perhaps the administration should start relying on SurveyMonkey instead to get the electorate's pulse. Left-leaning tech luminaries and execs have come out to back President Obama with a new website and a series of online videos. The initiative, called "Tech4Obama" or T4O, mainly consists of interviews with tech personalities like LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, Dropbox founder Drew Houston, and Craigslist founder Craig Newmark giving their reasons why they endorse the Obama presidency and explaining how the president encourages innovation, especially in Silicon Valley and other tech hotspots.

I am in high tech and we work hard, have vision, MAKE SOMETHING, and like people with vision. We are not like the Romney's and the Wall St. crooks who make nothing and are just leeches. Meg Whitman is not high tech. She is from retail and I bet she fails in high tech.

1. Most tech mecas are in blue states
Most technical Jobs are in California, New York, Washington, Chicago, D.C, and Pennsylvania. Exceptions are Texas and Georgia. Source
Makes sense that people who think for a living would make the correct choices in politics as well. |

2. Her and Carli Fiorini.
Fiorini fucked over what used to be one of the most employee friendly corporations so badly she was bounced from the board.

3. Great website. Great project. Yet the Huff Po piece isn't Late Breaking News. Locking.
Suggest a re-post in Politics 2012. Thanks. ~ pinto
