There is, perhaps, more to this story than just using and understanding personal computers and Internet technology in the 21st century. Incumbents that have not kept up with the times likely do not understand other 21st century technologies that have the potential to benefit Americans and the American economy.
Case in point is the myriad of 21st century alternative energy technologies that stand poised to revolutionize how Americans, and the rest of the world, generate and use energy.
Republican incumbent for the U.S. 3rd Texas Congressional District, Sam Johnson, age 78, Republican incumbent for the U.S. 4th Texas Congressional District, Ralph Hall, age 85, Republican incumbent Senator John Cornyn and Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain, age 72, all advocate drilling more oil well holes in the ground and coastal areas as America’s primary energy strategy.
All these Republican incumbents also downplay the impact that alternative energy technologies can bring to American and Texas. Do the Republicans advocate drilling more oil well holes because drilling holes in the ground is the most advanced technology they understand? Or, is it something else? Multiple oil company executives did give huge contributions to Senator McCain's campaign just days after his offshore drilling change of heart. (Until very recently Senator McCain was against offshore drilling.)
T. Boone Pickens may be an old Republican, he is sounding awfully like a younger generation Democrat these days. Watch his T. Boone's TV ad:
Younger candidates such as Tom Daley, Democratic candidate for the U.S. 3rd Texas Congressional District, age 44, and Glenn Melançon Democratic candidate for the U.S. 4th Texas Congressional District, age 42, do understand and do use personal computers and the Internet in the course of their daily lives and to support their respective congressional campaigns.
Both Democratic congressional candidates do understand the dramatic revolution to American industry, white and blue collar job availability and personal life style that 21st century clean alternative energy technologies can bring to a 21st century America. Both Democratic congressional candidates, whose districts meet down the middle of Collin County, stand with U.S. Senate Democratic Candidate for Texas, Rick Noriega, and the Democratic Presidential candidate, Barack Obama, for the deployment of clean alternative energy technologies for a better America and a better Texas.
