Is Mario a bipartisan ambassador?

With all the news of Mario relating to politics this week, we have to speculate that our favorite Italian plumber (as opposed to the millions of other Italian plumbers you know) is currently aiming for the position of World Dictator. As it stands, it seems that pretty much everyone would be okay with that.

According to a Zogby poll, the games of choice for conservatives are Madden and Mario, while liberals like Mario and The Sims. See the common denominator? Even middle-of-the-road folks love him, choosing mostly to play Mario, Donkey Kong, and Madden.

We don't know how reliable a poll like this is (as Game Politics points out, where are all the Halo players?), but one thing is certain: the people love their Mario.

Suddenly, the term "Mario Party" seems to have taken on a whole new meaning.
