Sen. John McCain has tapped John Chambers, the chairman and chief executive of technology giant Cisco Systems Inc., to serve as the national co-chair and economic and technology adviser of his presidential exploratory committee, reports the Associated Press.

Chambers previously served on the education committee of President Bush’s transition team and an advisory council on the nation’s infrastructure. He also worked on a trade policy committee under former President Bill Clinton, according to the AP story. Chambers is quoted as saying: “I believe John McCain is the right leader to move America forward. He understands the value that technology contributes to economic prosperity and growth.”

Does McCain have the right stuff to promote technology?
