Astute politcal commentary or idiotic game? This is my new topic for my thesis. What effect will this have on the US election?

I don't think it'll affect it all, seeing as this has been around since the 2000 election [img]tongue.gif[/img]

If this were to have an effect on the only US elections in which Bush is eligible to participate, then temporal causality is in the crapper and all bets are off.

Idiotic game.
It is untrue to say that it will affect noone, as any form of advertistment usually affects someone, but the only people this would affect are idiots.
Maybe some teenager that has to vote and has been living in his basement, and is oblivious to there being an outside world, and he sees this dancing guy, hey maybe it might even make him vote for bush (but voting there isn't compulsory).
But i think genrally it would just reduce people's opinions of him, but you can't deny it is a little bad for his reputation.

Bah, i hate uneducated people making a strong political statement like this, some people don't deserve democracy, that and the music is bad.

I don't think that would affect anyone. Idiot or not. It's a 'game' on a website. So what if Bush dances when you click buttons. It won't affect his reputation. Why would it? If some moron thought it really was bush. Bush dances, so what? I'm no fan of Bush but this is clearly an idiotic game.

It won't affect anyone because he can't get into office a third time, if I understood American Politic right...
