Obama has huge lead over McCain -- in cyberspace (AFP)

WASHINGTON (AFP) - If the US presidential election was being held in cyberspace, Barack Obama would win in a landslide.

The Democratic candidate has raised tens of millions of dollars more than Republican John McCain online and proven much more savvy overall at harnessing the power of the Internet, according to political and Web analysts.

Not surprising, perhaps, for a 47-year-old who is facing a 72-year-old who has admitted he does not use a computer and is seeking to become the oldest man ever elected to a first term in the White House.

Count the Lies #62: CNN Calls Tax Cut Claim "Misleading"

Monday, September 22, 2008

DNC Press, Democratic National Committee

Press Release, For Immediate Release

ADVISORY: DNC Updates "Count the Lies" Counter: #62

Washington, DC - The Democratic National Committee today updated the Count the Lies counter after CNN called one of John McCain's most frequent false attacks on tax cuts "misleading.' As CNN notes, McCain's campaign continues to repeat a long-debunked lie about Senator Obama's voting record despite a clear record of opposing tax increases on the vast majority of American families.

This article is at least the 62nd fact check to debunk McCain campaign lies since he promised to run a respectful campaign in February. Visit http://www.democrats.org/CountTheLies to see the updated Count the Lies counter. CNN: McCain Claim on Obama's Tax Cuts Voting Record "Misleading." "The effort to convince voters that Sen. Barack Obama would support higher taxes is a central part of Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign. McCain and the Republican National Committee have repeatedly cited 94 alleged votes by Obama to bolster their argument. Factcheck.org, a non-partisan project of the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center, pieced through records to determine just what these 94 votes were… Annenberg says a close look at the record reveals that Obama has "voted consistently to restore higher tax rates on upper-income taxpayers but not on middle- or low-income workers." Verdict: Misleading. McCain's summary ignores the fact that some of the votes were for measures to lower taxes for many Americans, while increasing them for a much smaller number of taxpayers. A nonpartisan examination also finds that the 94 total includes multiple votes on the same measures and budget votes that would not directly lead to higher taxes."
