Video of Presidential Candidate's Second Life Whistle Stop
Last week, presidential hopeful Mark Warner (D) wowed online gamers in a way that even WoW itself never has.
The former Virginia governor's ground-breaking visit to the popular MMO Second Life could be the first of many such appearances by politicians. Indeed, Warner himself will make a return trip to SL for a "virtual town hall" meeting in the fall.
GP has been hoping for some video of the event, and now we've got two for readers to check out. In the first clip Gov. Warner flies onstage - a trick even presidents can't pull off in real life.
Second Lifer Rik Riel has video of Warner being interviewed by journo Wagner James Au.
