Greg Raymer running for U.S. President 08\'
----------------- Greg - Will you put a poker table in the oval office in place of your desk? Then hold MTT's on the Senate floor and Sng's in the House of Rep's and aquire poker.us? ----------------- Chuck Moulton, the vice-chair of the Libertarian National Committee, said he and other leaders in the Libertarian Party have talked to Greg Raymer about a possible '08 nomination from the party. "The main reason is to attract the poker community - who are very angry about the anti-Internet gambling law railroaded through attached to the Port Security Bill - to the Libertarian Party," Moulton said. The party considers Raymer, who is a libertarian, a very qualified candidate because of his legal training and media experience. Moulton said his celebrity will be a huge asset in outreach efforts, especially to the poker community. "It would be a good alliance both for libertarians and the poker community," Moulton said. "The Libertarian party has a pre-existing freedom agenda and experience with running candidates and lobbying." "The poker community has a huge number of people, many of whom lack political experience," he continued. "Merging these two demographics with the common goals of preventing poker from becoming the next prohibition and rolling back government regulation of Internet gambling seems like the best approach." While Raymer has been recruited by Libertarian Party officials for the vice president spot, that doesn't mean he will automatically get the nomination. Like other political parties, the Libertarian Party has a nominating process in convention. The 2008 presidential and vice presidential candidates for the party will be selected by delegates at the 2008 Libertarian Party National convention taking place May 23-26, 2008, in Denver, Colo. "Many Libertarian Party members are excited about Greg's candidacy, but it's too early to tell what his chances are of being nominated," Moulton said. "There are no other announced VP candidates at this point, and we have more than a year to go."

Re: Greg Raymer running for U.S. President 08\'
How about a Greg Raymer/ John Stossel ticket.
Talk about star power. The only downside is that if this ticket don't win, its an uphillary fight for the next 4 to 8.

Re: Greg Raymer running for U.S. President 08\'
Is THIS post a joke? A simple "jk" would be great.
They aren't sure of his chances of winning? Are they of voting age yet? ZERO % CHANCE TO WIN. Only poker players would vote for him, and even then, of the 5% of poker players that vote, only .001% would actually vote for him. What?! What is going on around here - this forum is nuts. - edit: so apparently this is semi-true, for some reason the OP changed the wording of the article, or found a skewed article, Raymer was talked to about running for VICE president...

Now while I'm asking you for reasons .... I have none to back me up as it's obvious that besides poker I do not know of any of Raymers stances on issues.
