Stardock has released Political Machine Express, a free version of its US political campaign strategy game. PM Express is similar to its big brother in that it puts players in the role of campaign manager. This scaled back version has players working strictly for Obama or McCain during 21 weeks (primary to general election) as they try and get those sweet 270 electoral votes and become el presidente.
For those interested in a heftier experience, Stardock has a lovely Perot-friendly chart detailing the differences between the Express version and the $20 version of The Political Machine '08 on its site.

Does anyone know if this has an office friendly mode? Like a turn based mode where you only do a couple turns a day?
I looked on their site and I dont believe it does but just wanted to make sure...

I have been wanting to give this game a try. Looks like the Lite version might get my foot in the door.

Hopefully it's at least a little less biased than the New York Times!
