I was just reading over this new statement again, and this part really struck out:
Quote:
Efforts to carve out an exception for games like poker, which many believe is a game of skill, may be considered later this year.
Kyl mentions the skill argument!? This is our fundamental argument, and its on his radar. Now it doesn't mean he necessarily believes it is a skill game, but he is saying that "many" believe it is. Not just a fringe or a few, but many.
Maybe the time period from the darkness (4/15) to the light (regulation) is sooner, but really, since 06, I've been tricked by little golden nuggets like this all too often. Something seems to always come along to get my hopes up, and then something inevitably squashes those hopes.
