Really think so ?

"Hello, Governor Schwartnegger, would you like a 40% affiliate deal to help out the State of California ? Yes, just like the Lottery, only better."

State budget offices are still under the impression, right or wrong, that poker competes with lotteries. State lotteries are declining in sales. In a state such as California. the Indians would fight tooth and nail against online poker. Every horse lobby would fight. The horse lobbies aren't just the betting services, but jockeys, breeders, and trainers. If they think horse handle will decline, they will fight it. FoF will fight us state by state, and governors can count voters. States will be harder than the Feds.
