ok ok ok politics and president
Jan. 31st, 2008 11:52 amit's getting to be that time where all of the posts are somewhere somehow tied to the presidential election. oh i am paying attention to all of you. to all of them. and to what's happening. trust me. my wife is a news / politics JUNKIE. i often hear about something edwards, clinton or obama did as the sweet nothing in my ear before going to sleep. that said - sometimes i am not a big politics talker. i absorb the info. think critically about it and make my own decisions. but see now i am starting to feel left out. so i give you this.

you can play a mortal combat based game with any of the candidates. it's really pretty awesome.
and so far - Obama is winning....
Obama Wins Atom Caucus!!!
If presidential elections are decided by who we feel is the best candidate to lead us into a no holds barred mixed martial arts tournamnet -- and most political theorists believe we do -- then the Atom audience would elect Barack Obama.
Since launching our presidential death match simulator Kung-Fu Election, where players choose one of eight candidates to fight with in one-on-one contests of face-shattering skill, on January 3rd, the game has received more than 1.4 million plays. Of those, Obama is the candidate of choice for 25% of all players, holding an impressive lead over Giuliani (21%), Hillary (13%), Edwards (9%), Richardson (9%), Huckabee (8%), Romney (8%) and McCain (7%).
Perhaps even more surprising than Obama's popularity is McCain's dismal showing. Why is today's Republican frontrunner a last place candidate in the Atom primary? Well, for one, he made a huge blunder by choosing to fight in Shaolin monk regalia (evangelical Christains must love that). Second of all, his weapon of choice is a wood staff, which is essentially a glorified broom handle. Compared to Hillary's bladed fans, Obama's samurai sword and Huckabee's nunchakus, McCain might as well be fighting with a water balloon launcher.
