Some that do fear that date more than a pathetic threat of a catastrophic end to all humanity are affiliates of the gambling industry. If the right person doesn’t get in – it could mean game over for gambling expansion. So if it is one of the last things we ever do – to vote for which elective should receive the presidential crown – we thought we should ask our readers: “Which 2012 US presidential candidate would best serve the gambling industry?”
And it was certainly something you all felt very strongly about – it was our biggest poll yet, with Conservative representative Ron Paul receiving 46% of the votes. It’s no massive shock considering he supports the HR2267 Barney Frank bill that would both legalise and regulate all online gambling.
In joint second place was “None of them” alongside Baccarat Obama, oops, we mean Barack Obama of course – with 20% of the votes, which leads us to ask if none of them would best serve the gambling industry – then who would? Nevertheless, 20% is still a beefy amount but it’s more than half of Ronnie’s result.
Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich were polled joint third with a mere 6% of the votes. And in last place was Rick Santorum with just 2% of those polled thinking he’d be the man for the job.
Is Ron really the answer? Would he deliver his promises if he made it to the presidential office? Is there even a likely chance he’d make it that far anyway? Let us know your reasons for your choices!
