the ron paul issue is explained by the media, just like how most political issues can be explained by the affects provoked by the media. whatever the spin zone says half the country believes it verbatim.

wrt poker, obama is the good choice. in fact, he's as good a choice for poker as ron paul would be. the fact that he has not come out for poker doesnt matter because his only power as president on this issue is veto power and he will go with what the dems want. its the dems of house and senate that will get good bills passed and a dem prez will not veto it.

a vote for mccain is with zero question a vote for illegal internet pokering because he WILL veto a positive poker bill simply because its what his base wants.

people dont seem to realize that most of politics isnt so much this candidate or that candidate, but this party or that party.
