Philly VC Richard Vague for President (of the US) ?

That's the speculation started by a BuzzFeed piece and followed up by Larry Platt in the Philadelphia Citizen . Don't know if there's anything to it, but Vague is a very bright man who has studied the key issues in depth.

“I have increasingly crystalized a set of issues that I think are the way to put Democrats back into the White House", he told BuzzFeed. "To oversimplify, these are kitchen-table issues. This is a laser focus on the middle class,” said Vague. “And as the 30-odd candidates coalesce, if there’s not somebody who is laser-focused on the issues I think are important, then you never say never.”



FanDuel is bringing its sports book to Valley Forge Casino , beating other PA casinos to the punch. I thought for a second whether its past Pennsylvania investors (such as Comcast) had given it a leg up, but now since its been acquired I doubt those connections matter much.
