I have heard a few people express the thought that whichever candidate for president in 2012 most strongly endorses legalizing online poker will get their vote.
If that's you, there's no question where your support should go.
Gary Johnson issued this statement on the matter:
“As President, I will do everything in my power to restore your right to play online poker, and ensure that such a right can never be taken away again.”
Clear enough?
Did you ever heard such a statement from Barack Obama? No.
His campaign's web page about poker is here.
The fact that he is a strong supporter of individual liberty, constitutionally limited government, and strict fiscal responsibility makes him that much better a candidate. If he and Ron Paul are both still in the race when the Nevada primary rolls around, I'll have a difficult choice. Otherwise, either one is worlds better than anybody else running.

I'm really rooting for Ron Paul in this race.
I rarely agree with you politically, so I expected to get little more than an eyeroll from reading Johnsons site, but it quickly became apparent that I agree with him on nearly every one of his positions, the most glaring exception being Net Neutrality. If he can get some traction, it could be an interesting race/debate for the (R) nomination.
If he succeeds capitalizing on this media exposure, he could make his voice somehow audible to the American public. I wouldn't dismiss his chances right away, as the elections are still distant.
