Bush obviously wins. It's Texas Hold'em.

/and it's not close.

Agreed.

However, Kerry would destroy him in Scrabble.

Default Easy choice

I would stake the gawky Senator. He is certainly the smartest of the two. (Dubya being a Texan qualifies him to be a sucker more than average, as well. The number of Texans who think that, by place of birth alone, are good poker players....)

But Bush would go all-in on every hand which would make this a toss up, anyway.

Now, Poker is not world diplomacy, of course. And Bush employs the same tactic in world diplomacy. This is the most extremely risky strategy possible.

I think Kerry would be way too weak tight for shorthanded play.
