Kyl PR man Andy Chasin dismissed the industry's flexing.
"They have the same right to vote, but if you look at the demographics …" he said, drifting into a long pause before changing the subject.
The pause implied that perhaps gamblers aren't the most diligent voters.
Mark Bergman, Pederson's top campaign spinmeister, had an interesting twist on the issue, somehow tying it to Kyl's support of the war in Iraq.
"He spent his time working on online gambling instead of the war in Iraq," he said.

Unfortunately both of these guys have it right. If there are billions being spent at online poker, its hard to understand a couple of days and only a few thousand dollars. Still something is better than nothing and we need to hope AZ players will prove him wrong at the polls.

The second guy nails it though; there has to be at least 10 major issues with national importance well beyond online gambling. Hopefully folks recognize Kyl is wasting his office on this silliness instead of say spending the last 4 years to try and succeed over there in the cradle of civilization. How do you explain to a fallen soldier's family it was more important to ban poker than put armor on a humvee????
