This is particularly brilliant in that John McCain, who has no idea how to get online, will probably never even learn this is out there... :lol:

yes im sure obama played the game or is on xl all the time and picked it up as a good ad opportunity

Re: Virtual Political Advertising

^i'm picking up on the sarcasm you're laying down. ;)

it's not that obama is an avid gamer or something, it's that he relates to a different demographic than McCain- young people. and let's just say for a second that, no he doesn't relate to kids and gamers, he's just trying to get the young people's vote. well, hey, at least he's trying.

Re: Virtual Political Advertising

John McCain is old. He would never do this.

OK then, the campaign as a whole -- and probably the administration that would follow -- is more in touch with the youth of America than McCain's.

I honestly didn't intend to make a grand political point with this post, though -- I just thought it was a clever, out of the box way to reach younger voters. I'm all for creativity.
