2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumPolitics 2012: The Romney campaign trolls for voters among Zynga gamers on FB
So I was just passing time, watching Tweety, and went to one of my Zynga games on FB. When you run out of energy for the games, the often let you opt in to watch an video advertisement in order to get more energy. This is the first time it has ever been a political ad, and it was for Romney. The question (optional) to answer while the ad plays was (I'm paraphrasing) "Do you think Mitt Romney has the character to be president" ? LOL, uh, ok. I decided to answer, of course with a big no. If any of you play the Zynga games I urge you to watch for it so you can register your opinions as well.

Haven't seen it though. It is a pay for play thing. What better audience than us?

she wishes they had a better candidate, but they don't and she can't vote for Obama. She's contemplating not voting.

Watch an ad to keep playing. OKAY, GEORGE! O.o
