Could be fun if it is done right, it is certianly unplowed territory in the gaming world (maybe there is a reason for that)

i played, pretty neat game. easy though.

o and it's missing the debates, the conventions, etc. not too realistic, very quickly made it seems.
also, in 5 years, all the stuff in this game will be invalid. they will prob update it though.
