CNET colleague Declan McCullagh has a superb analysis of Dem. vice
presidential candidate Joe Biden, who has an interesting (read:
depressing) voting history when it comes to tech issues.

In McCullagh’s own words: “By choosing Joe Biden as their vice
presidential candidate, the Democrats have selected a politician with a
mixed record on technology who has spent most of his Senate career
allied with the FBI and copyright holders, who ranks toward the bottom
of CNET’s Technology Voters’ Guide, and whose anti-privacy legislation
was actually responsible for the creation of PGP.”
