I share his addiction. It started with Atari and ColecoVison, then onto computer gaming, consoles such as Nintendo, Sega, and PS#.

When will Sony ever re-release FF7 on a modern console??? Or even iOS - I would totally pay to replay on an iPad!

Cruz doesn’t make unscripted jokes or pal around much.

That's because he knows the target is on his forehead, and every single journalist and politician is aiming at it; he has absolutely no wiggle room for any quotable slip-up, real or perceived.

You have far more time than you think, but you’ve chosen to spend it better. I’m right there with you. If I had video games, that’s all I would do.

Well, I do have a handful of arcade games in my home. But those aren't games that suck hours/days/weeks/months from one's life.

Here’s where video games help: Cruz suffers from a perception of rigidity. When asked a question, his responses are always airtight and measured, the mark of a former debate champion. Often these conversations seem stilted and rehearsed. Unlike a more gregarious politician like Sen. John McCain, Cruz doesn’t make unscripted jokes or pal around much.

Cruz is a million times better than McCain. The author isn't very good at making a point.

If asked a question Wednesday that he was previously asked on Monday, he will repeat his original answer nearly word for word, as if it were memorized, raising the risk of questions about how genuine he really is.

And if the answer isn't the same the media will crucify you for it, especially if you're a Conservative.

I will not vote for any video game addict period. Wife and I visited my sister at their house on the lake several years back. My sister’s daughter is about 50 now and she and her boyfriend played video games for some six hours. I hope the gamers running for office are revealed as these folks damn sure are not up to running the USA. The real geeks I know with PHD’s in ENG MGMT watch pro and college football.

I also will not vote for video game addict periods, or anyone's period for that matter. The menses flow from anyone is not up to the task of governence.
