I'm afraid that as soon as the election is over (perhaps even before that), the jokes will become unfunny, and all that will be left will be a fairly poor game.
Actually, the jokes weren't that funny in the first place, especially as TD isn't new, at all. A election themed first person shooter - now THAT would be funny >:D
I wish we started of with a pistol it would be a lot simpler than a bat. Then you could use psi power for special abilities like lighting storms and shockwaves and crap :)
