Chik-Fil-A Flap Added to 2012 Campaign Game, Iran Attack De-Emphasized

The Political Machine, the PC game that lets you play out the Obama-Romney race for yourself has been updated to keep up with current events (and tweak some gameplay). Now you can make your candidate be for or against Chik-Fi-Let, which presumably means being for or against the fast food chain’s opposition to gay marriage
