[ QUOTE ] Also, there's no doubt Frist will be running for President and the passage of this legislation has helped him in the early stages of the election process (Iowa caucus). [/ QUOTE ] Why do you feel this way? Historically Iowans have frowned upon heavyhanded federal government, and if Frist is anything, he's heavyhanded. [/ QUOTE ] He's not doing this for Iowans as a whole, but for the subset of Iowans that vote in the GOP primary.

It also reinforced all of the Jesus humpers to show increased support for Frist and his morals. And there are more people that jack off to the bible than play online poker.

But that characteristic is much more true of Republicans than Democrats. Iowa isn't the Bible Belt, for chrissake. It's not exactly Wyoming, either, but I can't see this playing well there.

Re: are online poker players enough to tip the election
I love poker as much as anyone, but there are so much more important things reguarding politics and the 2008 election than poker. They could put a ban on live poker and the printing of poker cards and the manufacturing of poker chips nationwide and it still wouldn't change my vote.

Re: are online poker players enough to tip the election
I would of thought that very few people would switch there vote to Frist for this bill, as he would already have thier votes. I also would think that this action will cause many people who were probably not going to vote otherwise to do so simply in an attempt to show their hatred for Bill Frist. I would think that this would overall definately energize more people to vote against him then votes he would possibly gain from people that oppose online gambling who were not already going to vote for him.

Re: are online poker players enough to tip the election
The gambling part of the bill will be a non issue. To help defeat him there would have to be those in the media or the Democrats who oppose the bill. While some Dems may not like the attack on liberties none of them are going to argue it was a bad idea and be seen as "on the side" of gabmling interests. Its a non-starter as an issue

away from Frist, if he runs for President in 2008? [/ QUOTE ] It's going to be difficult for all the online pros to vote in the 2008 election if they've all moved to Canada.

Re: are online poker players enough to tip the election
all, Am I the only one who hopes that this helps frist get nominated? I mean, Frist can't win the actual election if he gets the Republican nod, can he?
