When pressed further for something he did on the Commerce Committee that affected the economy, Holtz-Eakin held up his Blackberry, saying "He did this."

"Telecommunications of the United States, the premiere innovation in the past 15 years, comes right through the Commerce Committee. So you're looking at the miracle that John McCain helped create. And that's what he did. He both regulated and deregulated the industry."

It's an ironic claim, that McCain would have anything to do with technology, since McCain has himself stated thathis computer-illiterate.

He's not the first senator to have issues with technology. Sen. Ted Stevens once said the Internet was a "series of tubes."

Further, he also said:

I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why?

While McCain has little use for technology, Barack Obama has a Blackberry, and is frequently seen using it. A question that's been posed before is, should voters judge a senator or a president on their tech savvy? After all, with technology advancing as it is, shouldn't they understand it?
