Re: Fred Thompson for Poker?
[ QUOTE ]
What I want to know is why our (the PPA) lobbyist/chairman is going on national TV and proclaiming his support for someone who won't be anything but hostile to our goals. Maybe he knows something I don't, but I doubt Fred Thompson will do anything to offend the FOF crowd.

I know it is a distinction without a difference for most people, and a politicans dodge, but D'Amto has said his support is a personal position, not that as chairman of the PPA.
Given Fred's views on a number of subjects including abortion I would not assume that he is controled by the religious right. I would also not assume that he is pro-poker.
As a "main-stream" Republican, whatever the F@$! that means these days, I feel he is about the only candidate who has a shot against Hillary Obama. Now what shot a Republican candidate has next year is another question. There are some serious people in the party for hopes with Fred, but until he declares and gets tested under fire all they are and will be are hopes.
