GamePolitics gnome covers World of Warcraft Ron Paul march

2008 US presidential candidate Ron Paul - Image 1Political analysts may have dismissed it as inconsequential, but the World of Warcraft march in support of 2008 U.S. presidential candidate Ron Paul had proceeded as planned, in spite of minor setbacks.

One gnomish observer took the time to cover the event and even had a video to show for it as well.

While the highly publicized World of Warcraft Ron Paul support march has already transpired, it’s interesting to note that someone took the time out to cover the politically-inclined WoW event and share some insights about the event itself.

Using a gnome mage created especially for the World of Warcraft Ron Paul march, GamePolitics (GP) opted to literally and figuratively keep an objective distance from the queue of avatars for the duration of the event.

GP the gnome followed the line of marchers from Ironforge all the way to Stormwind, but stopped short of proceeding to Westfall. According to GP, the Ron Paul march went relatively well, in spite of some rude behavior and snide remarks from non-participants.

GP also mentioned that, if anything, Ron Paul’s supporters have at least found a unique way to “harness the social and political potential of the game space.” If you weren’t able to catch the World of Warcraft Ron Paul march and you’d like a glimpse of what it was like, check out GP’s short video below:
