Aaron Ricadela writes "Presidential candidates, their eyes on early primaries, have understandably been spending much of their time lately courting voters in Iowa and New Hampshire. But Silicon Valley has merited some important side trips.
Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton unveiled her technology agenda May 31 to an audience of executives from Microsoft (MSFT), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Intel (INTC), and Google (GOOG) in Santa Clara, Calif. Clinton, fellow Democrats Barack Obama and John Edwards, as well as Republican John McCain have appeared at question-and-answer sessions with Google employees at the company's headquarters in Mountain View, Calif. And McCain bolstered his tech bona fides with July appearances at Stanford University and the Churchill Club.
Candidates are making time for Silicon Valley in part thanks to the area's ascendance as a source of fund-raising. "There has never been this degree of attention paid by Presidential candidates to the Valley," says Gary Fazzino, vice-president of government affairs at Hewlett-Packard and a two-time former mayor of Palo Alto, Calif."
