Doyle Brunson Mad at Obama & Biden
Poker Pro, Doyle “Texas Dolly” Brunson is mad at Barack Obama. Why? For picking Joe Biden as his running mate. What could Doyle have against Joe Biden? For starters, Doyle says that Biden is a hothead and a potential screw up. Writing on his web log last Friday:
“I’ve been watching the news all afternoon and it looks like Joe Biden is going to be Obama’s running mate. I think it is a bad choice because Biden is hot headed and might screw up royally. I think Hillary would have cinched the election if he had picked her. But, what do I know, I was a George W. man. If McCain picks Romney as his running mate, all the gamblers had better vote for Obama.
Why does Doyle think “all the gamblers” should vote for Obama?
He doesn’t go into details nor does he outline just how Biden might screw up royally. Its interesting to learn that Doyle feels so strongly that Hillary Clinton would have been a better running mate for Obama than Biden.
Lifelong Republican and poker legend Doyle Brunson has said on several occasions that he will vote Democrat for the first time in his adult life, which when calculated is about a century.
“Well I’m a life long Republican,” said Brunson, whose online poker room is amongst the most well known in the world. “But I think I’m probably going to vote Democrat this year, because of the way that they ran the Internet gaming bill through. I think that maybe the Democrats will be a little bit more lenient with the online gambling.”
Doyle is one of the most well-known and influential poker players in the world. He was the first player to earn $1 million in tournament winnings and has won ten World Series of Poker bracelets. To date, his total live tournament winnings have exceeded $5,300,000.
Brunson is arguably one of the best, if not the best, poker players in the world but he may want to rethink his role as a political pundit.

[...] Definitely has to be Fred Thompson. The Republican politician may enjoy playing the part of the life-long Republican. To my ears, both have a similar speaking pattern, as well. [...]
