Obama pwns McCain in gamer poll


All right, this is kind of silly, and will soon lose its relevancy, but last night when I was up too late, I saw this on my TV:

Long and short of it is, someone went on World of Warcraft and polled the residents there.  If Azaroth were a state, it would be a blue one, with players choosing Obama by a 2-to-1 margin.  Among the character races, Obama takes almost every demographic, but splits humans and loses to McCain among dwarves--runs strongest among elves, I think.  Among character classes, it's a similar story with McCain taking priests and splitting warriors, and Obama taking the rest, running strongest among sorcerers and rogues.

Oh, and there's some funny visuals where they superimpose WoW characters over this year's third presidential debate and Obama's 2004 convention speech.
