Forget comedian Sarah Silverman and "The Great Schlep" -- Computer and Communications Industry Association chief Ed Black is trying to get Florida voters to cast ballots for Sen. Barack Obama by arguing that the Illinois Democrat is the right leader to spur innovation in the Sunshine State. In a video posted on YouTube on Tuesday, Black -- who is a telecommuting Florida resident -- says it is "is so frustrating to see our state not reach its potential to become a tech powerhouse." High-tech policies in an Obama administration "will stimulate innovation, will increase Internet access and will create the jobs our state needs," he argues. Note: Black was speaking on behalf of CCIA's PAC, not CCIA itself.
