The people of Jib Jab are back with their satirical send up of the race for the White House with the animated Time for Some Campaignin' (to the tune of Bob Dylan's Times They Are A-Changin'). It is clever and well executed but, to borrow a phrase from the pundit's handbook, may lose in the expectations game because you and I cannot help comparing it to the original My Land parody from the 2004 Presidential Campaign.
Apparently, I inadvertently added to the funhouse-mirror view of this year's presidential race in a column that posted on June 25, 2008 in Government Technology's Public CIO. It included the results of a survey of IT professionals that seemed a little odd. They were mistakenly attributed to the Computer Technology Industry Association. The error was mine.
In fact, the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) had commissioned separate opinion research this spring on the presidential preferences of IT professionals. The findings, coming before the end of primary season, showed Senators Obama and McCain "in a dead heat, with 29% each."
CompTIA's Michael Wendy tells me the organization has commissioned a follow-on poll to gauge the IT community's view of the presidential horse race one more time before the general election. Its results will be available in September on the industry group's website at www.comptia.org.
