THE ELECTION COMES TO SECOND LIFE!

Let the record show that March 10, 2004 at 5:55pm (PST) was the first time I observed a reference to the 2004 United States presidential election, with this provocative sign advocating against Bush's re-election in Teal. More will surely arrive, as we near November, and New World Notes plans to cover this online campaign right up until the ballots start coming in. (And maybe even into inauguration day, if any celebrations/mourning ceremonies happen to go on in here.)

Of course, NWN seeks to be at all times a non-partisan publication, so I'll be on the lookout for all variations of campaigning, regardless of political stripe-- pro-Bush/anti-Kerry, pro-Kerry/anti-Bush, even pro-Nader/anti-Nader, their in-world advocacy will be reported on here.

Update, 4/18/05: Welcome, KOS readers. If you're interested in reading more on the potential for political expression in Second Life-- think of it as blogging in 3D-- you may also want to check out "So Very Kerry", "Bush Vs. Kerry, Live from Minna", my post-election "Red Staters Meet the World" series, and "State of Play, State of Second Life", notes, links, and illustrations for a talk I gave last year at New York Law School. Enjoy!.
