I totally disagree with your assessment of Fred Thompson's web presence. In fact, it seems you are uninformed to make such an asessment. I think you'll find evidence upporting this statement in the link below.

I happened to be watching a live feed of the session at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., and at that moment the employees watching the event were stunned into silence. The purity of Thompson's cluelessness was breathtaking, an Everest-level summit in the annals of missing the point. (The best possible YouTube campaign video, of course, would have been the candidate sitting on a bed, à la lonelygirl15, talking off the cuff to a Web cam.) Even the moderator of the debate, Anderson Cooper, was thrown off his game. After a second or two when he tried to craft a response, he finally burst out, "Senator Thompson, what's up with that?"
Making a clever YouTube video should never be a requirement for public office, but knowing how technology affects the lives of Americans, having an idea how to keep American businesses competitive in the digital age, and being able to use technology to increase the productivity and transparency of government are essentials for anyone who hopes to lead this country. A recycling plan for those blinking VCRs would be a bonus.
