Raymer for VP?

Raymer responded on this site previously speaking on behalf of the PPA in response to the CEO Poker tour fiasco. This whole Absolute scandal is the biggest scandal to hit online poker ever-so yes his, and the PPA' silence at this time is troubling. Saying anything else, or trying to deny that is just stupid.

B/c this is a big issue that can be used to make poker officially illegal once and for all. This paints poker sites in a bad light and when you are trying to get them legalized you need to show that they are safe. AP is not safe and it is in PPA best interest to have full exposure of what went on so that when the Senators ask what happened Raymer and others are up there saying a bunch of BS that makes poker look bad.

the AP thing is a double-edged sword for online poker advocates. While the scandal does make online poker look bad, if online poker is legitimized in the US, regulation would stop this kind of thing, and if not, at least facilitate the administration of justice to those involved-as victims or participants, in these type of scandals.

I agree...but a big hit against poker was that criminals are using the sites for money laundering. With this scandal we have people who had the ability to hack a site to cheat, and then chip dump to try and avoid being caught. That is something can definitely be used against us and it serves in the best interest to show that these sites arent as vulnerable as some will say they are.

FYP (although, with Fred you can pick a role and they are all pretty much the same (CIA Director, Colonel, Admiral, yada yada yada).

His role in The Hunt For Red October blows all the rest out of the water, so to speak.
