\With the balance of power only being one vote this pretty much kills any chance of Poker being legal in Pennsylvania for the next two years unless someone dies or a Republican flips as well.

This wasn't going to happen within two years anyway. In fact, even Rendell - the champion of casinos - has said that poker isn't coming any time soon.
"'We have to make sure that what we've done... is successful and works well, and whatever negative sides there are to it, that we can control them,' said Rendell, adding that the process would take at least two or three years.
'So,' he said, 'probably not during my watch.' He was just elected to a second four-year term."

I believe that he would let table games be a go if it was attached to some other legistration that he wants. I just do not believe with the Republican holding the house and the senate that this is going to happen. With DeWeese there was a chance because he stated that table games and poker was going to be one of his goals as the new speaker. I'm just hoping that there is one Republican turncoat or that someone drops dead. I guess the only other option is that the Democrat turncoat flips back to DeWeese's side. I would hope that they are talking to him right now.
