Win a Copy of The Political Machine 2008!

We here at GameStooge are giving away a free copy of Stardock’s great political strategy game, The Policital Machine 2008, which allows you to play against the computer or friends as a Presidential candidate, whether as a real-life politician past or present, or as an invention of your own. The game is fresh and fun, and fairly easy to learn, being more board game than computer game - which is a positive in this case.
The game is rife with subtle humor, like portraying every candidate as a bobblehead doll. You can hire speechwriters as well as fixers. You can create attack ads or have thugs ruining your opponents speeches.
The rules of the game are simple: post your own political slogan as a comment by June 30th, 11:59pm EST. In other words, tell us, 2008 election style, why we at GameStooge should vote for YOU to earn the game.
If you lose the election, never fear. You can check out the game at the official site and buy it from Stardock directly. We will announce our winner on July 1st, 2008 - and hopefully the winner will get the game by July 4th. Oh, and no regional restrictions - you can live anywhere in the world. It’s our little way of spreading democracy.
[Disclaimer: No emails, postal addresses, or any personal information will be revealed. Blah blah. Include the rest of the legal stuff here.]

“CHANCE FOR CHANGE”
“Vote for “AE”, give them a chance for change.”
(AE: Axis of Evil)
By giving this game to an Iranian living in Iran you might be a cause of change.
Let the people of the so called “axis of evil” know American way of democracy just by playing as a candidate in the other world known to mankind.
