Last played (this character at least) about a year ago it seems. Still, once a wow-player, always a wow-player… :)

I’ve never played WoW, so I don’t get most of the stuff in these comments. However, this did make my day! :D

I have a dream where people are judged not by the color of their orc, but by the level of their character…

I want her to do something about the Horde’s advantage in PvP. Can’t she pass a bill or something?

Her opponent now has a lot of free time on his hands. Might I suggest World of Warcraft?

It really highlights how out of touch from modern values and common discourse the Republican party has become; they thought they were smearing her when they were actually distributing facts that made her look cooler.

When I played that it forced me to flap my arms in the air, like a Pavlovian reflex.

What about posing with WoW farmers? That probably wouldn’t go over well with the anti-foreign labor crowd.

The best part is the video she posted to Facebook after winning.

Thanks for posting this, I was thinking about it yesterday and wondering if she won. One of you posted on boingboing in ’08 about how it was ridiculous for candidates to pose with farmers, when more people play WOW than farm in America today. When I first read this story, I remembered that and thought, this flyer just might backfire on them.
