The Volokh Conspiracy - McCain Campaign Attacks Key VC Demographic:

From today's JohnMcCain.com blog: "It may be typical of the pro-Obama Dungeons & Dragons crowd to disparage a fellow countryman's memory of war from the comfort of mom's basement..."

The McCain campaign is correct in wanting to rebut an ugly smear from the Daily Kos. But why drag "the Dungeons and Dragons crowd" into it?

Will present and former D&D players--of whom there are probably millions--consider voting Libertarian? A LP Convention probably has the highest percentage of past/present D&D players of any gathering in the world, other than a science fiction convention. And within the LP, the word "dungeonmaster" is never used as an epithet.
