Voting Candidates On Technology Issues
,----[ Quote ]
| This may be the single most important US Presidential election in our
| lifetime. While there are other very pressing and more important issues to
| help you make a decision in choosing a candidate; I think it is important to
| look at where each candidate stands in terms of technology, which most of the
| readers in this site is passionate about. It would be better if we could have
| their views on open source more specifically, unfortunately no such
| information exists to the best of my knowledge.
