How many times have we heard "it's not the right time/ bill/ the weather just wasn't right"? or " we'll have a chance later this year"?

I'm astounded that these lobbist's who are for the gaming companies aren't ****ting their pants and screaming at the top of their lungs at these elected officials they keep giving god who knows how much money to, to get this done and nothing ever happens.

I just hope that we can see something on the UI or doc fix bill's. I'm not holding my breath any more at this point though.

No one has promised anything. No one who is speaking up KNOWS anything. But, no one is lying when they say the atmosphere for attachment is excellent and the chance of passage after even higher. If you can't fade these sweats get a job.

To be fair to The Deal. I can understand the frustration and sense of hypocrisy. There was certainly was never a question of "it's not the right time" when they were jamming the UIGEA down our throats.

I thought that was way high, but 32-35ish seems about right.
No states will need to opt-out UNLESS such a bill passes. I still think it is more likely that an Opt-in mechanism would make any bill marginally more passable than any bill which forces States to "opt-out" or puts some of them "auto-in".

States facing budget red ink likely have concerns about their sovereignty/control re: gaming revenues

FWIW, for all the posting here about th Indian Affairs, there was nothing said that really answered the tribal gaming sovereignty concerns there, EXCEPT that it would be "only poker".

CNN also has an article saying that the payroll tax cut wouldn't be paid for but UI and "doc fix" would be paid for.

I think that is neutral. My understanding is that they are going to pass the tax cut clean and have any pay fors in the other bill with UI and doc fix.

I for one am glad the MSM is taking the high road and not letting this silly distraction get in the way of reporting on the cause of Whitney Houston's death.
