Default Re: Senators For and Against Online Poker (first cut)

Im not sure why Domenici voted that way. But he is a NM Republican and his best friend in the Senate is Jon Kyl. He is retiring, but his seniority could be a big obstacle. Do we
really want to list Stevens and Caig as As? If somehow the list was used as a publicity stunt by FoF it would be embarassing that our top supporters included bathroom solicitor and mr bridge to nowhere. Inouye is from Hawaii which has no legal gambling whatsoever, and maybe he felt the bill impacted Hawaii negatively. I want to say Harkin has done some bible thumping in Iowa and spouted anti-gambling rhetoric, Ill search later and see if I can find it. He has some clout/PR value as being the senior Iowa politician for the Dems duing the primary. Im sure if you called Joe Biden and asked his views as a presidential candidate he would elucidate. He likes it when people ask him that way. Feingold isnt bad to list as an A if he actually isnt opposed.
