First, a disclaimer that I neither support nor oppose any particular candidate blah, blah, blah, here’s something interesting.
Barack Obama’s technology plan includes the creation of a Chief Technology Officer position that "would ensure government officials holds open meetings, broadcast live webcasts of those meetings, and use blogging software, wikis and open comments to communicate policies with Americans, according to the plan."
Matt Marshall of VentureBeat says that the plan represents "the most comprehensive set of policies" he’s ever seen. The 9-page plan covers issues like broadband access, wireless spectrums, network neutrality, privacy, and immigration. I’ve embedded the document after the jump for your reading pleasure or displeasure as the case may be.

That’s great to hear! I am hoping when he loses he might turn his eye to his native state (if he remembers he is supposed to be Illinois’ senator, and he’s missing 80% of his votes) Illinois has one of the finest tech schools in the country, the University of Illinois, where it unfortunately must export its grads to other states for a job. Too bad he thought of this long after he served in the Illinois Senate, where–rumor has it–all his papers, etc. have mysteriously gone missing. Charity begins at home, and its a shame that his very state sadly needs what he speaks about at the national level but has been unable to notice or articulate before his run for President.
