How Do I Decide On a Candidate?

October 12, 2008

Many people are wondering in this upcoming election who they should vote for. There are many issues at stake, and it is hard to decide which candidate best fits your interests and concerns. But if you are an online gambler, and online gambling is one of your major concerns, then you will want to be looking more Democrat than Republican.

With all that is going on right now, online gambling seems a strange way to choose a candidate, but some will undoubtedly see this as a way of separating the two from each other. Some see online gambling as a major feature of this election as it truly shows who is for the people and who is for government.

But legalizing online gambling is not just about some people going online and playing their games. It is about harnessing a massive wealth source for the United States. A recent analysis from PriceWaterhouseCoopers says that by legalizing and regulating the online gambling industry we would be looking at $42.8 billion over the next few years � talk about funding!

Not only that, but John McCain is buddies with Jon Kyl who is the anti online gambling movement personified. Bill Frist was one of the people who ushered in the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act to start with. Barney Frank�s bill to regulate online gambling was defeated because Republicans would not vote for it. The examples go on and on.

So if online gambling is the major deciding factor for you this election, then the choice is clear � you want to vote for Barack Obama and the Democratic ticket. But if it isn�t, then you are going to want to look at all of the facts, not just online gambling.
