I remember seeing a story about how Obama was buying ad space in various online video games. It was the first time I had ever heard of that before and thought it was an interesting strategy. On one hand it is bold and new, but gamers hate everything so it could backfire. Clearly it did more good than bad because he won the white house twice.

I have a feeling we will be seeing more of this type of stuff in coming elections.
