Gotta spend it somehow

Obama's campaign is so flush with money that it's probably going to have a hard time spending it all between now and the election. I saw that they were buying a half-hour block of prime-time network time on all three channels, which will run a cool two million bucks.

And then I saw this post from Kotaku, where the campaign has purchased virtual billboards in the Xbox 360 racing game Burnout Paradise (see left).

There you go, politics and videogames. Perfect for an inside-the-Beltway video game fan.
