A new online game site offers kids the opportunity to assume the identity of a leading presidential candidate and then shoot their political opponents during armed confrontations in the White House.

Although the ammo is paintballs, the game is on the highly trafficked miniclip.com site that allows kids to train a rifle scope on six presidential aspirants and squeeze off a hail of shots (which are accompanied with a rat-a-tat sound).

The game is called "Presidential Paintball" and features six candidates in the action: Barack Obama; Hillary Clinton; John Edwards; Mitt Romney; John McCain; and Rudy Giuliani.

If a candidate wins a head-to-head confrontation, he/she advances to a new shootout. These occur at different White House settings including outside the Oval Office. When a candidate gets blown up, it is bloodless and a note appears saying they have been "eliminated" rather than killed.

3. Someone Posted This Yesterday. It Was A Lot Of Fun To Play.

I was Edwards and kicked the shit out of most, but then I think I got wasted by Romney lol.

4. That Romney's a sneaky shit

Just like in reality.

I was a bit disappointed, though. Was hoping to spend a game shooting at Giuliani.

7. I Got To Shoot The Shit Out Of Giuliani. He Was Before Romney In Mine.

9. Yeah, I got in a ton of shots at Rudy

I was Edwards, and it went Hillary, Obama, Ghoul and Romney. I assume McCain was next.

I was just hoping I could spend the entire game covering Ghoul with paint.
