Who doesn’t want to be Sarah Palin or Barack Obama right now? I mean, they both are in the running for spots in the White House, getting notoriety, publicity, and bigger paychecks than most of us. Well, there are probably plenty out there that don’t want to “be them”, but how about play as them?

It seems that the people of EA are putting the power in your hands, and we don’t mean with the vote. Sarah Palin, Republican Vice President Nominee, and Barack Obama, Democratic Presidential Candidate, will both reserve a spot in the upcoming update to Mercenaries 2.

On our part, we can’t wait to get our hands on these characters and just see how bad the candidates really are. I wonder if those little American Flag pins that both wear on their jackets, not to mention Sarah Palin’s high heels - can be used as weapons. Ahhh, the possibilities.
