However, we also have a history of a third party rising up and taking over one of the top two spots.

wow... Raymer are you not concerned about the possible image problem associated stemming from youre poker play?

While I can defiently understand that you may be more then qualified there is a stigma about your claim to fame.

Similiar thing has been said about women and mostly any non-career polictican in office.

I could easily see you having a large disadvantage on the main idea that youre a poker player for a living.

What if I said I was exactly as smart as Raymer and though exactly the same etc (Im not and I dont) and I wanted to run?

Would I stand any chance in hell?

Yeah, a stigma for moral authoritarians that would never think of voting Libertarian anyway.

You're getting carried away here. No, you wouldn't have a chance in hell, but that's because no one running for president from the libertarian party has a chance in hell, unfortunately.

His recent use of the word "douchbag-i-ness" on 2+2 may lose some of the D-Bag votes.

While ESPN has helped the general view of poker, overall it still has a some sort of neg connotations I'm sure. There would def be some people who would NOT vote for him for that reason who MAY have voted for a normal politician of the exact same beliefs.

When I mentioned about me running I was not being negative at all (I would not/could not run) nor would I be able to do anything with politics... Perhaps you were agreeing with me to some degree that the winning candidate would most likely be a republican or democrat..

A politican vs Raymer (same views etc) the politican destroys him ...

Any thoughts on the views of other countries if we have a poker player as vice president?


(NOTE: Raymer I am all for it and am not insulting you in any way)

If I voted for Michale Badnarik, you better believe that I'd vote for Raymer.
