None of this guarantees a Presidential election win, just ask Howard Dean and John Kerry. There are no promises that those one million Facebook friends will turn into one million Obama voters come November. However, for a man who is campaigning on a message of change it does make sense to be tapping into a culture which is embracing change at the technological coal face.

Even if some of us are not gullible enough to believe that the man himself spend hours every day in front of his laptop chatting with his Facebook friends and watching YouTube videos. Even then, I would argue, it's better than having an image of a man who simply does not understand the Internet at all. And that, it seems, is the corner that McCain is painting himself into right now.
