Who says gamers can't be politicians?

I found this article pretty cool. http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/ingame/world-warcraft-playing-candidate-wins-election-1C6892843?ocid=di_gnt_nbcnws_mlt_7913

Especially this: "And for all her gaming fans, Lachowicz posted a familiar tune -- the victory fanfare from the Final Fantasy games."

I dunno about you, but I'd vote for her!

Yeah I remember hearing about this.

Dirty horde scum. Gnomes are the master race.

WTB a new conservative party that doesn't align with neocons.

I would carefully weigh her stances on issues before choosing to vote for her.  Knowing she plays World of Warcraft might get me to vote elsewhere, not because I think video games suck, but that they, like any hobby, are among the most distracting things on the planet today.  I wouldn't question her competence, I'd question her punctuality.  I've seen what an MMO can do to someone's free time.  It ain't pretty.  If, however, she stands by my ideas and is also otherwise competent in meeting those demands, by all means.  Only, never tell me what you do in your spare time.  Oh, and never let others tell me what you do in your spare time, either.
