Political Machine Express

To bring a bit of Ed Halter flavor...

I found it amusing that if you go to politicalmachine.com, you'll find a computer game loosely based on simulating the election. Granted, the main page is full of political discussion threads (and updates on the game itself), but I think it's interesting that one of the ways people interface with a real-world political situation is through a form of play. Maybe it appeals to the backseat campaigner. Maybe it gives gamers insight into the election beyond the talking points and punditry. Maybe McCain and Palin look better as bobbleheads.
