Doyle Brunson Makes Political Support Statement

The man known as the Godfather of Poker decided to share his endorsement for the US Presidential race, which is now in the primary stage, by siding with newcomer Barack Obama. While Doyle Brunson’s endorsement was made known in a February 16th posting on his blog, other sources are picking it up and using it as a sign that poker players should endorse and support Obama over Clinton or McCain, the other serious contenders in the race. One major reason for the support is that Obama is a known poker player, and those who make their living on the game see him as their best case scenario.
