Back in 2008 there was a very good NPR piece contrasting McCain and Obama preferred games. McCain was an avowed craps player - not surprising for a highly risk tolerant guy who fundamentally was a bit of a lone wolf. As Nate notes, Obama was and is a poker player, but a social player not a tournament guy, he is comfortable with people but prefers to interact with them in more organized way - like at a card table. And he approaches risk in a very careful way, relying on analysis.
Can not say the poker player profiling is correct or not but I think this certainly is: " Democrats may also alienate other constituencies like small-business owners when they behave like nits who take an overly prescriptive approach toward government and don’t respect American values like entrepreneurship."
although "nits" is not the most transparent nor convincing term
How would anyone with the intelligence to play poker well ever me a socialist?
Any data on what Mamdani or Elizabeth Warren's IQs are?
IQ: GIGO
