Wired News reports that technology company executives are piling in behind President Bush's campaign for reelection.
"From Microsoft's Steve Ballmer to Cisco Systems' John Chambers to IBM's Samuel Palmisano, chief executives of the nation's largest tech firms have written checks to the Bush campaign this election cycle. While there are exceptions -- such as Apple Computer's Steve Jobs, a non-contributor recently named by John Kerry's presidential campaign as an economic adviser -- people familiar with technology leaders' political spending habits say industry heavyweights are predominantly backing the incumbent president."For those of you fearing your technology idols don't share your political views, there may be an explanation - "some political analysts are uncertain whether it's Bush's positions on the issues or his status as a sitting president that's inspiring executives to contribute this election year," reports the site.
