[BluffTHIS!]

A vote to make a statement is wasted. A better strategy IMO would be to vote for the "least bad" repub, which as a repub I will probably do. The issue of poker aside, I would probably lean toward Thompson. And as far as dems go, there is no way in hell I would ever vote for Billary. The fact is that in the presidential race we don't have good choices that have a realistic shot to win. But then again, being as any pro-poker bill will probably not be stand alone but instead attached to something else, we probably only need someone who isn't so against us as to veto such a bill for that reason alone.
