The Political Machine comes to town today

Ubisoft's latest, a strategy game that takes you on the campaign trail was released today.  Your job is to serve as the campaign manager for either Kerry or Bush—you can also create your own candidate or even use historical molds (like Roosevelt).  It's up to you to use political strategy to secure the most electoral votes.  No word yet on how much dirty work you can incorporate—you know, a little slander, a few "lost" votes, the usual.  If you like you can compete against your friends' candidates online.  The Political Machine is set to retail for a bargain $20.
