I can't believe that in this age of computers, McCain can not handle emails.

1. Shows he is indeed out of touch

2. Do presidents use email?

or carry cash in their wallet?

5. New Ad

I don't think this ad went far enough. I am so bummed because this seems like a missed opportunity. They should have made the point that so much information is obtained by means of the internet, so much research done using it, so much communication by email, even linking to important articles, ideas, etc., that a person who is not computer literate is not able to keep up with the speed of events, communication and learning that has to be well in place in high office. The notion that he is DEPENDENT on others to get information FOR HIM, and to communicate FOR HIM, to HELP HIM do something that is so basic as researching and communicating; THAT low skill level and dependence is what they should have focused on. I hate the idea that this could be interpreted as criticism of his age and NOT of his skill. Yikes. Grrrrrr.
