This is something that we don't know for sure. The official story is that the calls left at Clinton's press office are still unreturned.
It is known that Hilary Clinton is considering a presidential bid in 2008. And it's also known that the junior Senator from New York has been trying to scrape off the "liberal" label conservatives have slapped onto her. And this by adopting a center-right stance on a variety of issues, including the war in Iraq.
The Clinton showed her family-values, with a hard response to the "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas", scandal known under the name of "Hot Coffee". The senator called for federal legislation, thing that would make selling M- or AO-rated games to minors a federal crime and put the Centers for Disease Control to investigate the "impact of electronic media use" on minors.
But Clinton will not stop here. The source kotaku blog obtained an e-mail that was sent by Clinton and who's looking for "volunteers for a new anti-violence in video games initiative." These voluneteers should be "concerned parent", from Clinton's point of view.
With this said, it's pretty clear that Clinton wants to start a public crusade against games. She accused modern society of performing a "massive experiment" on millions of children by exposing them to games, electronic media - this is what she said in her speach in front of the Kaiser Family Foundation.
"At the rate that technology is advancing, people will be implanting chips in our children to advertise directly into their brains and tell them what kind of products to buy", Clinton said.
If this is true, when the 2008 presidential campaign heats up, the gamers can expect their favorite pastime to become a political punching bag.
