Yeah, it's sad that this may very well lose her a few votes.
But... she may have also gained a few gamer votes. Who can say?

If i were living in the district i would be more likely to vote for her, cause she would be someone who actually understands the internet, gaming culture, and the modern world. Not like those people who were going to vote on SOPA, and had no godamn clue about anything related to it.
This will backfire horribly. The kind of people who would actually CARE about a politician being a Gamer are either already going to vote republican, or they are GAMERS. Not to mention the people who would actually care and believe that being a gamer is a negative aren't the kind of people who frequent this little thing we call the INTERNET.
Honestly Republicans... you have a few good ideas. Why not just push those and try to get the public to focus that and ignore your flaws. We are just mindless sheep for the most part after all. IT WOULD NOT BE HARD TO PULL OFF!!! Just. Do. Something. Halfway. Intelligent. and. Earn. Some. Respect. From. Me.
*Insert mindless ranting here*

On a side note, a lot of gamers tend to lean Democrat anyway so... yeah. There is a good chance that there won't be any change from this in terms of voting.
Can we please get a Third option though, we have two crap parties in this country and they are the only real option. Perhaps we could dissolve the existing ones and wait for new ones to fill their place and wait for it to turn into two big ones and start this whole thing over again.

So... they try to say that playing an online game makes you unfit for politics.
And then put such news on a website. With WoW tags. Where anyone who does play the game can find it. And the target audience of people who don't play it would not think to even look.
...
Well done guys.

Lol, popped into the comments to make sure other people noticed. I mean seriously, if you're gonna rip someone's campaign apart by showing the public their skill and discussion on a game filled with development decisions and statistics, at least learn what the acronyms really stand for.

This obviously proves, that games like WoW only produce violent and/or lazy citizens and would never possibly encourage to test or practice social behaviour and skills, for example through simulating a rather complex world with different cultures, parties to site with or fight against, or an implemented guild-system, which simulates dynamic social grouping, including the posibility of different forms of gouvernment/leadership of those guilds and how basic to complex party-issues might work, not to mention, that her guild had a "social-ist" structure.
Also, condemn her for having a modern hobby, she should go into the wild and shoot at real animals, with real guns, like George W.Bush did, that's way more American and way less barbaric than "killing" and competing with NPCs or other players within a digital world ... i guess.
Maybe, she's also a vegetarian. Everybody knows, those are some horrible kind of "subhumans"!
Mitt Romney Style for President!
Unfortunately, i'm not American but only allowed to vote for German parties and politicians (or not), who than abandon what they stand for
Ahh, yes, politics...

This actually makes me like her a lot more. I don't live in Maine (Texas, actually. Sad, I know. [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/27/texas-republican-party-2012-platform-education_n_1632097.html]), but it's refreshing to know that there is a politician out there who actually *is* just like me.
I've got to go ahead and voice my disapproval as well, I can't really see someone in politics spending time on World of Warcraft.
I mean, doesn't she know Guild Wars 2 is out? *badum-TISH!*
But seriously, find me a candidate for an executive position that's also an elite EVE Online player and I will vote for them as hard as I've ever voted before.

I'm conservative and I think this is stupid. On of the big things about conservatism is more freedom and keeping private lives private.
More and more I've been thinking that the Republican party isn't conservative. The Democratic party is uber left and the Republican party is left. The only true right wing is left out in the cold without a proper party that can win.

Honestly, I'm surprised that the Republicans haven't tried something like this sooner.
It's just so frustrating. I believe in many "conservative" values, like small government and individual freedoms. Problem is, the GOP isn't even about that anymore. They're just going on insane witch hunts, be it about games, gays, Muslims, whatever. It's ridiculous.

Just the fact that she plays Horde is in instant vote from me. The fact that she plays a female Orc means I would campaign for this woman if I lived in Maine.
They can't have it both ways. They condemn her for living in a fantasy world and then condemn her for being "violent". I thought the whole point of a fantasy world is that there is no violence.
This would be 6 degrees of funny if it wasn't so damn sad and pathetic on the part of the Republicans // Leave our beloved Warcraft along, it's got enough problems
