Hopefully, they will be lined up at Game Stop instead of the voting booth.
Rove, you magnificent bastard!! Who else could have thought of such a brilliant plan!!
Obama’s plan to fight the WOT is create an 80th level Wizard who will cast the spell “ Power Word Kill” on Al Queda members. :)
People may laugh, but I don’t think this is so far fetched. One of his biggest voting blocks is the under 30 crowd. It’s not a stretch to think that video games are more important to many people than voting.
The ONLY age demographic in which “The One” leads is 18-29.
And we know how short their attention spans are. Remember the “youth vote” from ‘68 and ‘72?
Sure, they’ll cut class to go see the Obamassiah (as long as there’s a rock concert before hand), but that’s a far cry from getting off thier butts and outta their basements to do things like register, and then actually go vote.
Most of the guys I know that play WoW are conservative. So, you fail at humor.
What is a a “Lick King”?
Mick Jagger?
The people it might really suppress are the Ron Paul weirdos, although I don’t know how [or that] it would affect the race.
All Obama has to do is make WoW the 58th state, and he can send them absentee ballots.

Well if they release it at midnightlikem some of the gmes are released and make them stand in line and all of that then there is a good chance that them staying up too late will make them sleep too long into the day to make it to the polls!
No. I think you would be surprised at the number of conservatives who play.

Anyway, at the last family barbeque, we were discussing the campaign and some of us were needling him because for all his talk of voting for Obama, he isn't registered to vote yet. He just shrugged and said he'll get around to it eventually but I'm pretty much sure that it will keep "slipping his mind" until it is too late. I'm certainly not going to go out of my way to tell him when the deadline is either.
But this kid is typical of many young people old enough, but not mature enough, to vote. His life revolves around the moment and whether there is a "party" going on that night. He's a big video game freak too, including World of Warcraft or whatever that online game is called.
Anyway, I think it's a safe bet that Obama is going to be one disappointed fellow on Election night when he realizes that a large portion of his base never even got out to vote. Every election cycle, much is made of the "young vote", but each and every time, they never quite turn out in the numbers to make a difference.
Even in 1968, when the youth of America were radicalized like no other time in our history, young voters mostly stayed home while their arch-nemesis Richard Nixon slipped into office easily.

Actually, Sarah has depressed my WoW playing.
Hopefully the fools will also keep listening to “Rage Against The Machine” and stay away from the elections process altogether.
I have four level 70 characters in World of Warcraft. My wife has three.
We’re both conservative.
And we both WILL be at the polls on November 4. :)

It would not surprise me in the least if a lawsuit came down from the DNC to try and compell Vivendi/Blizzard (the publisher behind WoW) to postpone this release.
Anyway, someone who puts higher priority on a video game than voting maybe is not someone that belongs in the process anyway, regardless of political view.
