We are nearing the end of our TechCrunch Tech President Primary that we rolled out last month. Next week we’ll announce the results from the primary, and also endorse the candidate from each party that has the most favorable overall policies on ten key technology issues.
We’ve had great blogger and mainstream press coverage (see video clips on the primaries site), including SF Chronicle coverage this week.
If you haven’t voted yet, review the candidates positions on the issues and place your vote.
We’ve talked directly with many of the leading candidates - Barack Obama, John McCain, John Edwards, Mitt Romney, Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich. Notably absent are Hillary Clinton and Ron Paul - we’re still hoping to record podcasts with them before the endorsements are made.
For additional information resources, check out Yahoo’s Election Dashboard, Political Base and TechPresident (unaffiliated with us).
P.S. Dennis Kucinich dropped out of the race today.
May the best MAN win!!!

this has ROn Paul as against net neutrality.
This is not true, he has voted against laws for net neutrality, because he doesn’t want the government controlling the internet because then they could also regulate and censor.

All I ask is that you give every candidate a fair shot. The TC polls show Ron Paul is the favorite, and I don’t think it was spam bots.
Take a deep look at Dr. Paul’s tech policies. Like most of his positions, they don’t make good sound bytes and can be misunderstood. He doesn’t pay lip service to technology freedom, he will actually uphold it.
Oh please. TechCrunch endorsements. As if this will sway a single voter….how big can one’s ego get?
On that topic, about time you run more Crunchies self-congratulatory pieces, don’t you think?
Endorsements, big whoop. Everybody wants to predict the future. Anybody got a line on who People magazine is going to endorse?
LOL @ #6…
But really, I want to hear a Ron Paul Tech Crunch interview.
Michael - so the public vote counts for nothing? You indorse whoever you’d like was the way this was always going.
I am especially excited about the fact that you are going to ignore all of the voting and just give us your personal, unbiased opinion - that’s special.
Did this gimmick work to get you some of those big political ad dollars?
I for one can’t wait to see who Mike thinks will win! Who he will therefore, you know, endorse. To try and get on TV!
Arrington, the voting ended last week. Why are you compromising your own rules? Did you forget because of your precious Crunchies?
Interesting to see what the results are

@11…those with big egos get to break/reset the rules…get used to it
I’m so sad that Kucinich dropped out - we’re all much poorer for it. No more LOLs!!!!
All–
please vote Hillary. A vote for her is also a vote for our best ally, Israel (not to mention the most concentrated tech center in the world).
c’mon arrington, we know it’s all about the ron paul revolution….don’t let your fellow paul-oholics down
Huckabee’s un-notably absent?
Come to think of it, I haven’t heard all that much from him on tech…
