Obama Advertising in Variety of Video Games

— By Jonathan Stein | Wed October 15, 2008 12:30 PM PST

Back when Obama bought an entire channel on the Dish Network, I wondered if his campaign has too much money on its hands. I think it's safe to say the answer is yes.

      This is pushing the limits.
      John McCain should use the
      GI Joe games for his platform.

      Obviously seeking the voters most likely to be well informed on the issues, isn't he?

      Why doesn't he just advertise on the cartoon channel while he's at it?

      Good Luck getting video gamers to leave the house to go out and vote ,they don't even stop playing to shower every week or take out the empty cans of red bull.Maybe he'll have virtual voting booths inside grand theft auto so you can vote with one hand and shoot with the other.
