McCain is not known for being the most computer savvy person. However, he is using a very ingenious technique to attack Obama. Whenever one does a search for Joe Biden. They will find in a prominently displayed ad labeled "Joe Biden on Obama" that links to Sen. McCain's site.

WSJ, huh?

Did you actually Google "Biden" before posting this, your first post on RRMB? Looks like Obama for America, MoveOn, and Grampy Camp have all paid for Sponsored Google links.

Not savvy enough, I guess, as most all internet users who do The Google are pretty "savvy" to know what a paid/sponsored ad is.

Even a high schooler playing "webmaster" would have recommended that tactic.

I guess a web rookie wouldn't know that. . . . but he can work his police scanner. . .

Ever heard of "staff"? I guarantee you, McCain had nothing to do with it, with the possible exception of giving approval, and probably not that, either.

No way they interrupt grampy's nap-time with stuff that's beyond his feeble comprehension.
