Kyl sees this as a pragmatic way to tighten UIGEA while acknowledging political reality by allowing poker licensing. Anti-gaming types, OTOH, simply see this as an expansion of gaming.
This isn't too surprising. Anti-gaming types typically act very reactively. They oppose all bills that expand any gaming in a knee-jerk fashion. If that approach results in a net expansion of gaming, they don't care. They opposed the bill and, in their minds, did their part.
