We knew there were geeks in the writer's stable at Comedy Central, but now it's confirmed: there are gamers, too. For their Indecision 2008 site, Comedy Central has put together a handy one-sheet of the three major candidates, and what they will need to focus on to win the votes of various classes in World of Warcraft.

Anyone with general knowledge could have put this together, but there's one particular bit that makes us think at least one writer is a WoW player: For the Druid vote, Hilary Clinton needs to understand that they dislike that "Her dominant stance disrupts Feral Combat spells." Look over the list and see if you can find the candidate who best represents your character!

Azeroth has more players from Europe, China, Asia and Oceania than the US o' A so, basically, it's neither. Stop thinking of it as a US game.

I don't think it's unfair to think of it as a U.S. game when it's the product of a U.S. developer. And it's not like this was even a serious post, anyhow.

It's a U.S. game created by a U.S. company, whose lore was created by someone from the U.S.. You may be playing it, but it's a U.S. game. Although you could argue that since Blizzard is owned by Vivendi, that it's a French game.

I didn't see a hunter section. I guess we're not really players.
