Barack Obama is the Nintendo Wii: The multi-racial candidate who was first dismissed by Washington insiders for not having enough power or third-party backers — but has gone on to draw immense popularity, not just from hardcore party faithful, but from the young and old, independents and Republicans alike. Instantly appealing like the Wii, Obama is popular not because of his library of policies, but because he is changing the way the game is played.
Hillary Clinton is the Microsoft Xbox 360: Backed by the most money, seen as a reliable and established brand, Hillary appeals most to the Democractic base, much the same way the 360 is most popular with hardcore gamers. Transitioning from her husband’s Xbox era, she offers not revolutionary change but steady, reliable content.
John Edwards is the Playstation 3: Formerly the Democratic frontrunner of the previous generation, Edwards now offers a greatly enhanced library of positions with far more ideological power — which few except Edwards’ die-hard fanboys seem to be buying.
Unsurprisingly, the candidates are now polling about the same as their next-gen analogs are currently selling, with the Wii capturing 44 percent of the vote, the 360 pulling in 36 percent, and the PS3 trailing far behind with 20 percent.

Oddly enough I liked Hilary, and to some degree I still do, but the 360 isn't the system for me. Maybe it's why I'm starting to like Obama more now after Iowa, he's more like Wii.
The 360 is my favourite console out of the three, but I don't know enough about American politics to decide who's the better candidate.
It's interesting that Democrats are analogous to hardcore gamers in the article, as if to say Republicans are casual gamers (i.e. they're not interesting in anything too difficult or complex).
He Won in Iowa, Hilary came back in Hew Hamsphire.I'm sure about SC tough, but they're still neck and neck. After Super Tuseday is when we'll finally know who are the reps for both sides.

That's sounds like a perfect desription of Bush xD
Obama is winning?
Yes, in Iowa he done pretty good.
That doesn't make any sense. Wouldn't Obama be the PS3 because they're both black?
Psh, I shouldn't even read this. I don't care about the Democrats.
ya, if that was a racist joke, it wasnt funny just so you know
