Gaming in NYC would have winners and losers on the business end. But there are huge gaming interests that have no interests in AC. The three I mentioned are in that category (Wynn, LV Sands, MGM, with the caveat that MGM has a piece of the Borgata).

I would also think the the pro-lobbyists, could put some torque on the anti-lobbists, if it were pointed out publically that the politicians on their side were acting against the interests of New York, and in the interests of NJ.

And, also, if a good representative sample of the poker playing (and blackjack, craps, and, hell, even roulette playing) population of NY made themselves heard, who knows...

But yeah, your right. I'm tilting at windmills. I'll get off my soapbox now.
