World of Warcraft hobby sparks US political row

[Drale]

The gaming hobby of a political candidate has become an issue in a state senate race in New England, US.

Maine Republicans have created a webpage revealing that Democrat candidate Colleen Lachowicz plays an orc rogue in World of Warcraft (WoW).

Ms Lachowicz's liking for back-stabbing and poison in WoW raise questions about her "fitness for office", they claim.

Ms Lachowicz has hit back saying the attack showed the Republicans were "out of touch".

1. Meh

Let me know if she plays Sith or Jedi in Knights of the Old Republic. THEN I'll care.







(NB - not really. I don't care how she plays games - I'd just be happy to vote for a democratic gamer.)
