This makes me a little upset. First off, really? You're going to campaign against someone using World of Warcraft? Colleen Lachowicz, a Democratic Senate candidate from Maine plays World of Warcraft and the Republican party is attacking her for it. The issue I find here is, on a personal level, I find it disturbing that someone can still be considered by some to be unfit for office for, in their free time, playing a video game. That would be the equivalent of the previous generation being unfit to serve for reading too many books. While I am a fan of video games myself, this brings up the age old question of whether or not personal lives should factor into whether or not a candidate is elected. When the activity in question is literally practiced by millions of people around the world, and is equally prolific within the US, it should not even be a question if a non illegal activity should bar someone or make them unfit to serve; it has no bearing what-so-ever.
