The Daily Grind: Would you vote for a gamer?
The recent story of Jeanne Stevens, the Republican candidate to the State House of Representatives for Connecticut got us to thinking. All other issues aside (assuming the issues that were important to you were already covered) would you be more or less inclined to vote for a MMOG player?
Many people consider MMOGs to be a horrible time-sink, with the potential of addiction -- so MMOGing may not be something you want in an elected official. Others feel that it's just a particularly savvy way to enjoy free time since you don't have to worry about paying for gas or a lot for extras on a night out. (Frugality, it can be argued, is a great trait for an elected official to have!) What do you think? More or less likely to get your votes? Does it really matter?
