Re: are online poker players enough to tip the election

I was thinking the same thing and think the answer is yes. If each of 500,000 players convinced their family to vote differently then it could make a difference.
See, here is the problem there is no material difference between Republican and Democrat. Look at the vote we just had. Two un-patriots voted against the ports deal. ONLY TWO!
So in this issue there was no party difference.
It makes me want to puke.

You shouldn't underestimate the power of Hill politics. This was a much needed bill that most Congressmen would not want to be caught dead opposing. Any sort of opposition would be like a Congressman voting no to "Do you support our troops? Y/N." Riders make it through because they're either part of negotiation in a controversial bill to pick up more votes, or because they're tacked on to the most uncontroversial bill possible.
