The article also presents some interesting, to non-gamer, stats about the typical gamer that Microsoft was promoting at the CPAC. As an example, 40% of it's 25 million subscribers are actually married! who'd of thunk it?"

There are 2 strategies to winning an election. Besides the obvious one of trying to swing the fence sitters and indifferent. There is also getting your people out to vote and getting the opposition voters to stay home. Next election probably a lot of Democrats are going to feel jaded and still refuse to vote Republican and just won't vote, so the Democrats have to work to get their people out and the Republicans will work to get them to stay away from the polling stations. The opposite of course also happens though it all varies from election to election.
