His Web site is everywhere.
If you are a fan of Barack Obama, you get no less than four e-mail messages daily from him, Michelle, Joe Biden or his staff.
In the last few days, I got at least twenty invitations from other Obama fans in my city to join “open house parties” to watch last night’s acceptance speech together.
There were more than 1,000 house parties across Virginia.
I was only asked to bring fruits or desserts.
And in today’s edition of The Virginian-Pilot, you can read a story about one of these parties for fans.

What about the Republican candidate?
Well, John McCain is 72 years old and is on 5 different medications, and he still doesn’t get it … he doesn’t “do” e-mail, and he doesn’t “do” the Internet.
You cannot be president of the United States today if you are not able to communicate offline and online.
And, yes, perhaps it’s too late for McCain.
Watch the full Obama speech on YouTube here.
