Can't wait for November to punch your vote? Sorrent, a leading creator and global publisher of mobile entertainment, today announced the launch of Bush vs. Kerry Boxing, the first and only politically charged game for mobile phones. Bush vs. Kerry Boxing allows mobile subscribers to step into the ring as either candidate and take their best shot at knocking out their opponent using signature Bush vs. Kerry Boxing moves, including the "Right Wing Hook" and the "Far Left Jab."

As if interest in the campaigns and anticipation for the election in November wasn't enough, the results of every match between Bush and Kerry on mobile phones across the country will be automatically posted to Sorrent's web site (www.sorrent.com), giving visitors a glimpse, at any moment, of which candidate is leading the "Pugilist Poll." In addition, ten percent of proceeds from Bush vs. Kerry Boxing will go to Rock the Vote, a non-profit, non-partisan organization with the mission of engaging youth in the political process by incorporating the entertainment community and youth culture into its activities.

This should prove to be both funny and entertaining to players and watchers of the statistics, alike.

It's unclear what platforms or carriers this is available for, but Sorrent does games for both BREW and J2ME.
