In a news release from PRWeb, Stinger said: “I want to find out if casual polling through game play can help predict election results. If I can get enough people playing the game, we might be able to reveal some interesting patterns."

For the 99-cent download fee, Stinger's game allows players to throw bags of money and stacks of cash at the candidates as they stand at podiums on a debate stage. The goal is to "donate" as much money to a candidate in an allotted amount of time. Donations are doubled as they go to your favorite candidate.
