In other non-poker news, if anyone cares about anything else. Barack Obama is now the official "presumptive" victor in seizing the Democratic nomination for a little race being run for the United States presidency. Hillary Clinton says she's not out according to this CNN article http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/04/democrats.wednesday/index.html?eref=rss_topstories, but then again, Bill did not have sex with that woman either... Go figure.
According to another CNN article http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/04/election.runningmates/index.html?eref=rss_topstories Obama's got quite a laundry list of potential running mates from which to choose, and of course among them is Hillary. Question, has an assassination attempt ever been made against the President by the VP? I don't mean to suggest harm on anyone, but wow that would seem to me to be quite the powder keg! I also, cannot come out in whole-hearted support of either Barack, Hillary or for that matter John. I keep waiting for another mystery candidate to be picked from behind Door #1. Right now I feel a bit like Monty Hall has just shown me the goats behind all the other doors.
Anyway stay tuned (my few faithful blog visitors ) I'll keep you informed of the goings on, or at least point you in the direction of the real journalism going on out there on the web.

Politics and poker...If I were to look for a candidate that would protect poker, he would have been Ron Paul.
Unfortunately for the poker lovers, the MSM quickly shunned him and pushed him to the sidelines as the trumpeted the media darlings like McCain, Guiliani and Obama, Clinton.
