| GamblingPhD menu | President of Online Gambling February 27, 2008 It used to be that things like health care, tax reform, and education were the things that people asked about when deciding on whom to vote for when it comes to President of the United States. However, it seems that this election will be more about online gambling than any of those topics. While the current administration has made their dislike of online gambling very clear, there are many that are now currently vying for the job that are looking to make online gambling legal again. Heck, online gambling is so popular you can even bet on who you think will win the next Presidential election. In fact, politics and online gambling have become strange bedfellows as more and more people are working to make it so. Every day people are placing bets on who will win the primary, who will win the debate, who will be the next President. It all seems absurd that online gambling is such a hotbed issue and here everyone is gambling to see who will take the reins next. However, what it really comes down to is which politicos are interested in regulating and legalizing online gambling. Those that are interested in it are going to find themselves at the top of the heap while those that either ride the fence or choose not to regulate online gambling will end up underneath the pile. Ron Paul has a slew of supporters and mostly because of his forthrightness in saying that he was in favor of making online gambling legal. The other candidates might want to make as strong a stance for online gambling for it may be the one thing that actually wins them this election. |
