Senator Obama's Republican rival, John McCain, is a dedicated gambler who plays 14-hour sessions at the craps table. Senator McCain has enjoyed the camaraderie and the thrill of chance in the dice game - in which players bet on the outcome of a throw - since his days as a naval pilot.
Anthony Holden, a poker player and writer of the book Big Deal, is concerned by Senator McCain's dice habit. Poker was a game of skill, he said, but "craps is an absurd game of luck. You may have thrilling short-term wins but only madmen play craps."

It only worked on the weak of mind.
Which explains it's complete domination of the Democrats.

I'd rather have a guy that plays craps in the White House than a guy who is a piece of crap like Obama in there
