Who'd make the best tech president? Discuss.

by Declan McCullagh

I'm doing a live chat Thursday about technology, politics, and the 2008 presidential election, and you're invited to participate. Topics include: Which candidate is the most tech-friendly? Who will protect online liberty the best? Who actually understands economics? And how much does any of this matter when candidates are talking about Iraq, the economy, and health care instead?

By way of background, check out News.com's 2008 voters' guide that we published in January. John Edwards may not be in the race any more, but the other candidates we profiled still are.

And at 11 a.m. PST/2 p.m. EST Thursday, here's the live link for the chat. Join us!

Declan McCullagh, CNET News' chief political correspondent, chronicles the intersection of politics and technology. He has covered politics, technology, and Washington, D.C., for more than a decade, which has turned him into an iconoclast and a skeptic of anyone who says, "We oughta have a new federal law against this."

The subject is almost offensively myopic; as mainstream media is want to be. Whoever 'wins' this discussion, please remember that without a law abiding government, civil liberties, etc. we'll still be screwed no matter how good 'your tech' is.
