I recently heard a man remark on a New York radio station that when it comes to this year's presidential candidates, "There's not a dime of difference between them."

My immediate reaction was this gentleman obviously hasn't been paying attention, but when I looked at the candidates' positions on technology issues, I began to think the radio guy might have a point.

Certainly Sens. John McCain and Barak Obama have substantive differences on a host of issues, but when it comes to technology, it sounds like the same person could have written both of their platforms.
