The Election in the Cyber World

I have recently realized that there is no way to escape the 2008 presidential election. The election is covered on the TV, newspaper, magazines, radio, and now the cyber world. The presidential election is so heated that online games are now discussing the election. One popular game is the World of Warcraft , where players are supposed to be fighting dragons, raiding enemies, and performing magical quest are now discussing who will be our next president. Sean Goldman told USA TODAY, “Here we are logging into the virtual world to escape the grip of the real world for a few hours, but this election has brought the real world closer to the virtual world. Players have been in debates for hours trying to make their point to the other players. Goldman also told them that, “99 percent of the gamers on WoW are talking about politics. Not only are gamers discussing the election, but MySpace and Facebook contributors are battling for the support for candidates. It seems like no one will be escaping this election.
