Barack Obama: I will eliminate capital gains taxes for the small businesses and the start-ups that will create the high-wage, high-tech jobs of tomorrow.
Barack Obama: “I will eliminate capital gains taxes for the small businesses and the start-ups that will create the high-wage, high-tech jobs of tomorrow.” says obama. This is why i love Obama… Infact, sometimes i feel; this is the way Obama moves, according to him, he is against not against anything. Anyway, if we believed in change, we need to keep on believing. No one is ready for another big disappointment.
John McCain has picked his running mate (announcement tomorrow) and a theory in Denver is that it’s ex-eBay CEO Meg Whitman. If true, is this a good choice?

After some thought, we actually think it is.
That wasn’t our first reaction. But our current impression of Meg is colored by the fact that we hold her responsible for the collapse of eBay. (Meg was solid in her early years as eBay CEO, but, in our opinion, she then retired on the job. eBay stopped innovating about eight years ago, shifted into cruise control, made some ludicrous acquisitions to try to prop up growth, and ultimately smashed into the rocks.)
Overall, we think the perception of Meg’s CEO skills exceeds the reality.* But that said…

If you’re a political junkie but couldn’t take the week off to trek to Denver, have no fear. With journalists, delegates and bloggers toting minicams, and multiple live feeds emanating from the floor, the coronation of Barack Obama and Joe Biden will certainly be the most-covered in convention history.
But, as this video from the Chicago 1968
Democratic Convention reminds, more cameras doesn’t necessarily mean more drama. Still, it will be interesting to see what moments do get captured now that every just about every attendee is a potential live broadcaster.
The Democratic National Committee is streaming the procedings starting at 3 p.m. Mountain time on its own site via a deal with Level 3. UStream is the official live Webcaster from The Big Tent, a two-story temporary structure where bloggers unable to get convention floor passes will be penned in for the next four days. Craiglist founder Craig Newmark is already checking in.
The people over at the Poynter Institute have put together this Twitter stream of journalists covering the convention. It’s got a good mix of traditional newspaper and broadcast folks as well as bloggers/new media types.
