Re: Presidential candidate Rick Santorum comes out against online poker

So we have one more day, basically, for Romney to announce his position on Ipoker/gaming right?

He can always break his promise. After all, he is a politician.

Re: Presidential candidate Rick Santorum comes out against online poker

Why would Romney announce? It gains him nothing since Nevada is not looking to be a contest. Poker advocacy will not gain him any Paulites. If you are picking Gingrich over Romney, you hate Romney more than changing his stance on poker will alleviate. He still has to look to his right, especially social right, flank until after Super Tuesday. If I am wrong, I am wrong, but ipoker is an insignificant pile of poop that gives him nothing at the moment.

Because he said he would. IMO, he is obviously for it. If he was going to come out against it, he would/should have done it sooner.

Re: Presidential candidate Rick Santorum comes out against online poker

There is no right to absolute freedom?!?!? What a 1st class total wanker!! Any voters listening to that whether they're for or against poker should immediately ditch their votes. What about the past decade where online gaming has been active?? Bad for the country...um what happened then...? Who died?? Oh right everyone's "under water" because of Full Tilt and Pokerstars right? STRING HIM UP

Re: Presidential candidate Rick Santorum comes out against online poker

I think one of the big problems with Santorum is that he might be picked by Romney for VP slot. In fact, on paper, he is nearly perfect. Romney has to pick someone liked by social conservatives, plus Santorum has wide name recognition, is a good debater, and is perceived to do well with Reagan democrats in the Rust Belt.
