Videogames probably won't be a wedge issue in the upcoming presidential election or the current primary race, but politics is very strange, and maybe, just maybe, voters who care about abortion, separation of church and state, Iraq, whether we should abolish the Federal Reserve and return to the gold standard, or whether puppies are cuter than kittens will split the vote in a way that leaves the election up to the 15 people for whom videogames are the only issue.
If you’re one of those 15 people, please enjoy our look at how the various presidential candidates stand on videogames.

Perennial third-placer John Edwards told Common Sense that the current ESRB rating system is a good example of industry responsibility, and seems to be working well, but "If the industry does not continue to make progress in keeping video games with intense violent and adult content away from children, we will need to consider further steps." That’s what we call sensible.
[FL]http://images.totalgamingnetwork.com/images/romney.jpg[/FL] Mitt Romney:
When asked about videogame regulations, Romney spat back a red-meat lover's dream : “I want to restore values so children are protected from a societal cesspool of filth, pornography, violence, sex, and perversion. I've proposed that we enforce our obscenity laws again and that we get serious against those retailers that sell adult video games that are filled with violence and that we go after those retailers.” Tell us how you really feel, Mitt. If Mitt is true to his word, and really regards videogames as pornography, watch out, everyone.

While he hasn’t spoken on videogames specifically, Paul’s Libertarian philosophy guarantee he’d take a hands-off attitude toward censorship of games. Plus, he’s been interviewed on our videogame television network's very own blog. Cool!
