The Political Machine -- Political Wire

The Political Machine

In the mail: The Political Machine 2008 allows you to be the campaign manager for Sen. Barack Obama or Sen. John McCain. If you don't like those choices, you can work for Sen. Hillary Clinton, historical candidates or even design the perfect candidate from scratch.

Players then choose their campaign battlegrounds and are off on the campaign trail to face a host of challenges including fundraising, talk show appearances, hiring spin doctors and winning endorsements. Play against the computer or against real people across the Internet.

The game is won on Election Day by the player who gets the necessary 270 electoral votes to become President.
