This past Monday Xbox LIVE partnered with Rock The Vote in an intiative to get gamers to register. Not picking sides, mind you. Just to register. As part of that initiative they released free Rock the Vote gamerpics for players to attach to their gamercard. One for Obama. One for McCain.

If anything, it'll introduce a whole new level to the Halo 3 Red versus Blue matches. Or see if Democrates or Republicans can run a better society in Civilization Revolution.

Then I remembered that MyGamerCard.net runs an up to the minute census of who's using what gamerpics with their profiles. So as of August 28th, who's winning?

McCain: 1,581 Users

Obama: 3,626 Users

Obama has more then double of McCain. Not a scientific poll by any means, but we can say it looks like gamers on Xbox LIVE are choosing Barack Obama. Now if we could get them to square off in a game of Call of Duty 4: Modern Combat instead of a debate, we'd be all set.

McCain is such an awful candidate. Kucinich, Ron Paul, Obama, Clinton, who gives a damn, it's better than McCain.

90% of people on XBL can't even vote.

Blackout, if I remember correctly, I think Major Nelson once said that the average Xbox LIVE user was male, 25-30 years old. We just remember the one or two squeeky voiced teens in each game more because they're the ones we have to mute.
