The Political Machine was a fun little game released in 2004. I remember spending hours playing that game. The more I played with it, the more excited I became about the upcoming election. It was a cycle, between DKos, Mydd, CNN, and then playing the game then back to the blogs. Now that it is 2008 there has been another version. It is more realistic and I think everyone here should check it out. Since its cheap, it is worth playing around with. It is not a simulation, but it is a strategy game which I think any political fan could appreciate. http://www.politicalmachine.com

That website has a political forum. Wow...completely filled with dead enders. My favorite is found here http://forums.politicalmachine.com/31562 2. The poster does not understand Bush's low approval ratings. I am completely amazed at these people. Well have a quick look and laugh at some of these people, but definitely check the game out.
