Which presidential candidate gives us the best chance to bring back online gambling

TheGambler · 05-12-2007, 10:09 PM

I don't really have a favorite right now but I do know that I will eliminate all Republicans from my ballot. My wife and I have been Republicans forever but since the Online Gambling ban, I completely have no respect for any Republican. My wife can't believe that I have switched my views because of an online gambling bill. I guess it really comes down to the things that are important to you in life and online gambling was definitely one of those for me.

None.

It's a non-issue.

Greg Raymer - if he gets the Libertarian nomination.

JoshW · 05-13-2007, 10:16 AM

Ron Paul. He is pretty much a libertarian running as a Republican. He is likely too small government to every win (wants to get rid of the CIA), but he would certainly be against regulations on gambling and vices in general.

Any Dem

I think Hilliary, I am a huge supporter of the Clintons

The ban will be in effect forever.

But in a few years it will be all but forgotten. It will go the way of cocaine, hookers, pornography, alcohol, and every other vice the religious fools try to regulate. 5 years from now, it will be biz as usual and you'll occasionally hear about a bust of some processor or bookie who comes to the US.

Very true it is a total NON ISSUE

not to mention the fact that whomever is elected will be equally incompetent, crooked and corrupt as their predecessor, after all, it is the American Way!

BuddyBear · 05-13-2007, 11:26 AM

This issue does not even register for any of the candidates.

I disagree. The current administration is as incompetent, crooked, and corrupt as any we have ever had. I would expect, and surely hope that the next administration, regardless of party, is a vast improvement.

In my former career, I ran political campaigns. I used to get paid good money to get people elected and I was quite good at my job.

Take it from someone who used to advise political candidates on what issues to talk about, this issue is probably the furthest thing from their minds possible.

Good point Senator...not an issue a candidate could seriously run on. It may resonate with people on here but there is a real world outside gaming forums where pointspreads have little substance in the real world outside the last Sunday in January.

Gamblers are a voting bloc that most politicians aren't concerned about appealling to.

There is a reason that Medicare and Social Security is discussed at length in every political campaign. Old people vote and they vote in droves.
