Re: How is it possible for Doyle\'s room to remain open?
[ QUOTE ]
Some prosecutors might disagree. I'd say that as time goes on we might see a further crackdown with various factions of the government chasing after celebrity sponsors ala Doyle. I hope this doesn't occur, but its within the realm of possible.

[/ QUOTE ] I disagree with this. As I see it, this whole bill was pure politics, and the last thing the Republicans want to do is bring it greater attention, which going after a well known public figure would do. I think it's enough for Frist to be able to preach to his choir that he stopped gambling, while at the same time hoping a lot of poker players don't vote. Any more publicity at this point could hurt them as much as it helps them. And the worst thing they could do (and thus the best for us), would be to go after someone like Doyle, who everybody loves.
