For a guy who doesn't know what the internet is, he sure likes to propose laws to heavily regulate it.

But as you said, "he doesn't know what the Internet is". That seems like someone I wouldn't want in considering I make my living off the internet. McCain has routinely scored near the bottom of all Congressional rankings put out by tech groups, while Obama has scored high.

If I was a plumber, sure, I'd perhaps vote for McCain. But I'm in an industry that he has made a concerted effort to heavily regulate. I'm in an industry in which conservative judges haven't exactly been kind to (which he wants to appoint). If I see some evidence that Obama would be worse for technology and the industry, I'd love to see it. But so far, your argument seems to say "well McCain isn't good for us and doesn't know a lot about the internet, but maybe Obama will get lobbied hard or something".
