ObamaCTO.org

Micah Sifry writes: While much of the tech industry and blogosphere is pondering who President-elect Barack Obama might appoint as the nation's first Chief Technology Officer--Eric Schmidt? Jeff Bezos? Larry Lessig?--a bunch of heavy-hitting public interest groups in Washington and a couple of civic-minded techies out in Seattle have each launched promising interventions in the discussion. The first one, out yesterday, is a new site called ObamaCTO.org. The site is basically a feedback forum centered on one question: What should be the CTO's top priorities? ObamaCTO is built on Uservoice, which enables anyone to create an account, post their own idea, comment on any idea, and distribute up to 10 votes to help rank all the ideas posted. ObamaCTO.org just went live, so the number of participants is pretty small, but my guess is it will get a lot of participation soon. Some of the ideas being posted aren't really the responsibility of a potential CTO, however, and it's not clear how the site's managers will filter those out.

McCain v. McCain

At one point, McCain promised if elected to hold weekly televised briefings to the nation on Iraq as long as there are U.S. combat troops there, ?even if only C-SPAN carries it.? That may not rank with Dwight D. Eisenhower?s pledge to go to Korea to end that war. But it does underline McCain?s determination to break with what he repeatedly described as ?four years of failed strategy? in Iraq by the Bush administration. He believes that the 2007 ?surge? tactics long resisted by Bush have put Iraq in position to achieve a modest goal of no longer being ?a killing ground for young Americans.? As a decorated war hero, McCain has the credibility to settle for modest goals that a New York mayor, or a Texas governor, might not have. Jim Hoagland Republican Role Reversal The Washington Post Senator and Republican presidential candidate John McCain reiterated his support for the war in Iraq on Monday when he spoke to a crowd of about 200 at Blackstone?s Café in downtown Beaufort. ?Despite what you may see from other sources, we are winning in Iraq,? he said.
