McCain "Is Aware" of the Internets! OMGLOLZ!

John McCain's deputy Internet campaign director Mark Soohoo told an Internet conference that “John McCain is aware of the Internet,” and that “You don’t necessarily have to use a computer to understand how it shapes the country.”

Actually, we would argue that it is generally good for a President to use the communication and commerce tool of the 21st century. After-all, if he didn't use a computer how would President John McCain stay up to date on the latest joke e-mail chain that your great Aunt keeps sending you?

Also, Barack Obama has way more Facebook friends than John McCain. And by way more, we mean, like, 800,000 more.
