    Default Will American poker players vote for Obama?

    The 32-32 vote in the House Financial Services committee on the 25th June, which defeated the effort to suspend regulations introduced under the UIGEA, saw 29 Republicans and only 3 Democrats voting against the bill and its amendment by Rep. King. I wonder if now more than a million poker players in the USA would vote for Obama who is also supposed to be a good poker player.

    I can tell you for sure he has my vote.

    But to be fair, I think to most Americans, poker is least on voters minds considering many other social and economic problems the last 8 years have generated.... oh, plus ongoing military conflicts... argh.

    True, but the question is: will the poker players there, more than a million I think, vote for Obama? That would definitely swing the balance significantly to his favour.
