Right-wing politicians who rule the state and the very powerful tourism industry don't want it

The key "right wing politician" was recently replaced. Have you not gotten the news? Granted, nothing was ever going to be accomplished under Jeb Bush but I doubt Crist has anywhere near the hard on against gambling as Bush.

Additionally, do you really think the tourism industry cares as long as hotels are filled? Atlantic City, Biloxi, etc. would not be able to compete with Florida for any of the East Coast "gambler" tourist dollars.
