Not happy with merely getting endorsements from musicians, presidential candidate Barack Obama is now seeking approval of those who pretend to be musicians on television. The candidate has purchased ad time on the download section of eightteen different video games, among them Guitar Hero and Madden 09. The ads are focused in battleground states such as Florida and Ohio, which both allow early voting and may serve as key assests in the upcoming election. The advertisements, which guide interested users to one of Obama's websites, will run until the election inNovember. [Gigwise]

I can only hope the youth vote. Not voting previously has put monkey;s like Bush into power and look at what that has done to the world. The youth vote could change the world for the better. |
thats right. tap into the minds of young adults anyway possible. in this generation you must understand the young people places in life and entertainment. nevermind the fact that he is a potential non white president and look at it as the representative of your democratic party. if he were a black republican, we (as black people) wouldnt care much about him. but we would acknowledge the history that was made.
