I guess the only true hope is that UIGEA doesn’t get implemented within the year AND we get a DEM in the White House. Then, this will all fade away, and the status quo for today will persist.
I still don’t understand why is Bush and the GOP being blamed for the UIGEA.
a). The President does not pass laws.
b.) the Democrats also voted for the UIGEA – I don’t see how a Dem president will help the industry. If anything GOP candidates have solid ties or speak publicly for gambling… If Giuliani becomes president – mark my word, Frank’s bill will pass the next day – http://www.ogpaper.com/news/news-01299.html
Let’s face it – the Dems have ruled Congress for a while now and nothing has been done (for the gambling industry or otherwise). What we need is another Abramoff – someone to grease the wheels, but since the gambling firms are less organized than any other business – we are in this mess now.
P.S. No party affiliation here, just clear observation.
