all up in derr. God Gary is a tool. I want to find out if that product he is promoting in his avatar is FDA approved and if it's not it should be illegal for fear that might be detrimental to people's health.

This Gary guy is such a tool...I really want to go off on him but everything I have typed I have ended up erasing because it takes away from what we are trying to accomplish....

Actually a good idea IF states / state lotteries simply required you to play via their state that interfaced as a "skin" of major sites. This would help appease states that might fear loss lottery revenues.

It would simply add another "game" to the lineup.

True, scary but true.

I know little about other states laws other than WV (where I am) but this may help here and could hurt.

Politics, ugh!

If a game of skill, then all is OK, maybe, though here an "OPINION" from the AG was it is not a skill game.

If NOT then the lottery who owns ALL games (even Racino tables) could own the game and lease it out like now or (god forbid) run it as they do the lottery.
Yes, a strange arraingement but it works.

I read the "House Subcommittee Discusses the Merits of Regulated Online Poker" and the "New Online Poker Bill to be Introduced in the Senate". Good job on both sluggger5x.

Mary needs more time. Said she wants more hearings probably in spring. Barton says he's ready for a vote.

Okay, I'm awake. What did I miss?

Actually, I just finished reading this thread and you all did a great job of sort of making me feel like I'd been awake and watching. Sounds like it went well. Sounds like our daily social media work might be having a little impact, as well.

Will read slugggerx5's piece on pokerfuse and will watch the hearing.

But after reading this thread, I feel even more encouraged. EDIT: see my post below. Grrrrrr.

(BTW, I thought the point of this hearing was to have state officials testify. Frank, Campbell, and Wolf are not state officials.)

A likely time-line, the GOP will want to milk this from Pro-pker for all they can and close to election time be able to court our good graces by giving us back what they took away via UIGEA.

LVRJ (referring to Rep Bono Mack): "She said it would probably be early in the new year before she set the next steps, if any." IF ANY???? What's with that? Hahaha. Politics.

Cynical response: String this out as long as possible in order to get more campaign contributions for next fall's Congressional elections, since she was redistricted into a tougher district than what she was in.

I can't tell if this is good or bad. I was under the impression that the chances of passing a bill are better if it gets introduced in the house/senate sometime this year. Am I wrong in assuming this?

However, our chances are better if we can get it introduced before the end of this year so it isn't lost in re-election bullsht. Always good to have the revenue issue to help push it, too.

She strikes me as the type who holds meetings to determine when to have the next meeting..... and I'm not joking either
