NOT REALLY.
I have more faith in my former state’s voters than to select a computer as the front-runner in the Republic race for president.
But on a day when voters are going to the polls in one of the country’s most economically depressed state to help select a candidate from one party, and candidates from another party debate on the eve of a Nevada caucus, Apple wins. At least on CNN.com.
About half an hour before polls closed in Michigan, news that Apple had unveil a new ultraslim way hi-tech laptop computer topped CNN.com’s most popular story. The primaries in Michigan, second place.
This does not mean that Apple’s latest MacBook Air, no relation to Michael Jordan, is more important than selecting the leader of the United States. Nor does it mean that Steve Job’s announcement of the fraction of an inch thick laptop without a CD-drive and movie rentals on iTunes is more exciting that the Michigan primary. (Trying to figure out where all the democratic delegates went and half the republican ones went is truly a mystery to me.)
But maybe it does.
Still the question remains, if the vote for president came down to the PC guy vs. the Mac guy, who would you vote for?
