WoW Obama vs McCain

In this video, comedian Rich Kuras goes inside World of Warcraft to ask players who they're voting for in the 2008 presidential election. As Kuras notes, if WoW was a state, it would be the eighth largest state in the entire U.S. In the video, Kuras dons the persona of a Tauren character and speaks with players in the game about who they're voting for. In one segment of the video, Kuras has players assign characters and stats to McCain and Obama based on their personalities.YouTube: Election Duel! Obama V. McCain – Who Get's Pwned? (Time: 4:45)

In the video, Kuras asks players “What character do you think McCain/Obama would be?” Here are some of their answers:

1. What kind of WoW character is McCain?
   • (Kaly) Undead Warlock answer: Dwarf Warrior
   • Reason: He's a very small man, and does nothing but hold aggro
   • (Joker) Human Paladin answer: Night Elf Warrior
   • Reason: They live a long time
2. What kind of WoW character is Obama?
   • (Kaly) Undead Warlock answer: Blood-Elf Paladin
   • Reason: They're jack-of-all-trades
   • (Joker) Human Paladin answer: Tauren Druid
   • Reason: He's like a druid. He shape-shifts. One day he's supporting one issue, the next he's supporting the opposite issue.

Hi this is Rich Kuras. I'm going to be pulling opinions today for the 2008 presidential election. Not in Ohio, Pennsylvania or any other battleground state, but an actual 'battleground' inside the World of Warcraft. With over 11 million players online, Azeroth—the world in which Warcraft is set—would be the eighth largest state in the U.S. Today we're going to determine if Azeroth is a red or a blue state.—Rich KurasYouTube: Election Duel!
