Default Greg Raymer Campaigning for Libertarian Party\'s Vice Presidential Slot

POKERNEWS.com Interview

Here's the key excerpt.

Bernard Chapin: Also, are you thinking of becoming a politician? If so, what kind of office do you desire? What types of positions would you support?

Greg Raymer: In many ways, I would not make a good politician, at least not the way the business of politics presently works in our country. I am not very good at compromising. If you convince me you are right, I will agree with you, but until you do, I will do what I think is the smartest thing to do. Having said that, I am currently talking to some people who run the Libertarian Party about the possibility of running to be the party's official candidate for Vice President of the United States. With a few exceptions, I would support the official planks of the Libertarian Party.

I would very strongly consider voting for him.

But I regularly vote for 3rd party candidates already.

Yeah, I was extremely pleased with this interview and very glad that Greg is so unpretentious that he would take the time to answer my questions.

BTW, I just was about to post this before leaving for work as I'm firewalled out of 2p2 there, but Dynasty beat me to it--man, you got to get up WAY early in the morning to beat him to the punch, lol. Thanks, Dyn.
