You know, this channel won't really be interesting at all until November 4, 2008. And even then, only marginally. Guess they're gettin' the jump on it?

It's editorially picked content AND from Nintendo. I'd be surprised if they asked a question "which color do you like more, red or blue?" let alone actual politcial discussion.

It's certainly pretty adorable! It doesn't even have any results yet and I've already been won over with its gleeful charm and snappy music!
