I’m not sure how effective this method will turn out. On the face of it, I do not think many young voters will be swayed by this type of advertising. With this said however, I think this will provide a good starting point for reaching this group of voters who find politics boring. Even if it does not increase voter turn out I hope it will create a little bit of buzz in the gaming community. At least for a brief while, this group that has traditionally turned away from politics may actually talk about the election. This, combined with future efforts (hopefully as creative) may indeed be able to engage the youth. Thanks for the comments Allan.

Seems to me a creative way to spend his campaign dollars, but perhaps a little less effective than other avenues of advertising.
