Among all the Felliniesque shenanigans of the current American presidential race, I suppose that there’s no sort of weirdness that is out of place. Still, I do think it’s odd how little attention the current race has given to critical digital issues of copyright, privacy and freedom of speech and of the relative silence of the videogame faithful on the topic of a preference for president.

Maybe we videogame nerds are too introspective and introverted to peek out from behind our monitors and televisions to notice that the something big is happening next week. And it’s probably too late to do much about it now anyway.

Still, in the eleventh hour, my conscious got the best of me and I posted a screed on the Denver Post Online site title Videogame Voter’s Guide. I’ve long said that the surface of videogame reflects a clear picture of the warped reality surrounding them. So, with that in mind, I’ve tried to provide a clear picture of the Republican and Democractic candidates cast in the image of the videogames that best represent them.

And for the record, I’m voting for Kerry. So should you.
