Obama or Clinton in “The Valley”…

Silicon Alley Insider’s Sarah Lacey thinks CNBC’s talking about Hillary Clinton having the edge in Silicon Valley is rubbish.

Eight of my Facebook friends have posted the “Yes We Can” video. (www.dipdive.com). And Twitter — the barometer of Valley cool — is overrun with people who want everyone to know they’ve got a crush on Obama. (See for yourself: Here’s a Google map showing real time super Tuesday twitters around the country– pretty cool!)

Several VCs have told me they “can’t wait” for the general election because they’ve already capped out on primary donations to Obama. He’s the new Tesla, the new iPhone, the new accessory. Or better put, he’s the new Bill Clinton.

I don’t know who CNBC is talking to–maybe some folks in Sacramento or Bakersfield–but here in the land of the digerati, it’s a one candidate race. And his name’s Obama.
