Raymer for VP?

My favorite poker player, Greg Raymer, is considering an '08 run for Vice President on the Libertarian line:

BC: Also, are you thinking of becoming a politician? If so, what kind of office do you desire? What types of positions would you support?

GR: In many ways, I would not make a good politician, at least not the way the business of politics presently works in our country. I am not very good at compromising. If you convince me you are right, I will agree with you, but until you do, I will do what I think is the smartest thing to do. Having said that, I am currently talking to some people who run the Libertarian Party about the possibility of running to be the party's official candidate for Vice President of the United States. With a few exceptions, I would support the official planks of the Libertarian Party.

The Libertarian party is pretty kooky and Raymer is decidely non-kooky so it will be interesting to see if this really works out.

The article sums up what I like about Raymer:

Raymer is one of the most liked and admired of poker playing professionals. His fans are drawn to him for many reasons, not least of which is the skill he displays on the felt. Despite his fame, he is remarkably unpretentious. Greg regularly participates in online discussions about poker strategy with many players whose entire bankroll (and net worth) wouldn't enable them to even share a table with him in a casino. Raymer is magnanimous in victory, and gracious in defeat—traits which our society seemingly has all but condemned nowadays. On camera, he is never seen bragging or putting others down. He possesses a quiet, honorable dignity that novices would do well to emulate.
