Susan Davis out at the Wall Street Journal has a post on how everyone's favourite "Agent of Change" is now tapping into the online gaming posse to garner votes:
A spokeswoman for Electronic Arts, the game’s publisher, confirmed to
the gigaom.com that Obama’s campaign had paid for in-game advertising.
“Like most television, radio and print outlets, we accept advertising
from credible political candidates,” Holly Rockwood told the site,
which gigaom.com called “far and away the most prominent use of a major
online game to promote a presidential candidate’s campaign.”

Foreign policy, experience and concrete economic plans suddenly don't look so important do they? (Answer: No they don't. A president who digs gaming is really what the free world needs.)
