Andrew Sullivan is all over Ron Paul supporters’ seeming command of World of Warcraft, and links to a list of 49 characters named “Ronpaul” in the popular online fantasy game.
But that’s nothing: There are 69 characters named “Obama” and another 36 named “BarackObama.”

There are 27 “McCain” avatars and another four for “JohnMcCain,” and even “Romney,” with 25 characters, makes an appearance.
