Level 80 Dwarf Priest Runs For Guam Office
Ever since that Level 70 Orc Hunter ran for Connecticut State Senate, they've been crawling out of the woodwork: World of Warcraft politicians. It's only a matter of time before we've got a Night Elf president and a Goblin chief of staff.
But before the White House must come Guam, of course, that lynchpin of the Pacific theater of war and key stepping stone from Azeroth to America. In a direct message to GamePolitics, Guam Senate member Ray Tenorio, AKA Paleray, let his pro-gamer intentions be known as he announces his run for Lt Governor of the territory of Guam:
Hafa Adai (Hello) Game Politics.com.I hope everyone at GamePolitics.com are healthy and doing well. As most everyone in WoW are eyeing level 85 in the Cataclysm expansion, waiting to take down the Lich King and still grinding heroic Ulduar...
I wanted to let GamePolitics.com know first that I am running for Lt. Governor with my friend, Senator Eddie Baza Calvo, who is running for Governor...
I want to let your readers know that, among the numerous web sites and related comments to the articles about my gaming life some years ago, I understand the issues faced by the people who write on GamePolitics.com.
Perhaps together, we can continue to let people, voters and those in positions of authority know that gamers are the same as those who do everything from clean public parks, fight and die for democracy, conduct intricate procedures in professional careers, and, Yes, even make policy...for our communities, everywhere around the globe. That simple fact is rarely said but is the basis for an even broader discussion on the depth and breadth of people who enjoy gaming and still carry out their responsibilities.
How's that for an unusually cool opinion from a Republican?

And what's he been saying in Barrens Chat?
Well, Republicans are more wrong about gay issues, no doubt, but corporate sympathies seem to make them less interested in censorship and sales restriction laws. That nonsense belongs to your Al and Tipper Gores and your Bill and Hillary Clintons. Human rights are more important, but we are talking about gaming policy, and Democrats have been the bigger threat there.
