Re: President Greg Raymer?
two things that made me laugh:
Having Mike Matusow there while the cameras were rolling while talking about the Presidency of the US. Great idea. And "Raymer does have the background for politics. Before he became WSOP Champ, he worked as a patent attorney." Wha?

Re: President Greg Raymer?
I would love to see Mr. Raymer on the ballot. I think enough people know his name from his WSOP win that it would get poker players to the polls, and could help any local referendums on poker.
I might vote for him if he ran for the House. And I live in Raleigh, NC, so that might matter.

Political advice from Matusow ?????
I would vote for Greg, but the article is ridiculous and typical of the garbage Card Player publishes:
"Raymer has the background for politics ... he worked as a patent attorney."

[/ QUOTE ] What are you getting at? Being an attorney is a very reasonable background for getting into politics. It's obviously not a good background for going straight to national office, but Raymer is way more qualified than some of the loons the Libertarians have nominated for VP in the past.

[/ QUOTE ] Not a background in politics, a background for politics. Which basically means a professional environment where you get to network with potential wealthy donors and/or public officials. I work for my state legislature, and law is by far the most common profession of the elected members. Although I'm sure patent law is not one of the best specialties for this.
