Rep. George Miller, a California Democrat, takes questions at a "press conference" in the virtual world Second Life. Held on Thursday to help celebrate the Democrats' newfound control of Congress and their "100 hours" plan for enacting new laws, the press conference was conducted in a virtual adaptation of the Capitol building in Washington, D.C.
Miller was not the first politician to use Second Life as a forum for political advocacy. Democrat Mark Warner, a former Virginia governor and possible presidential candidate, conducted a Second Life interview last year. Politicians in Europe have reportedly used the forum as well.
