I like to be as optimistic as the next guy, but it's hard when people in real high places are too confident.

This article is from February, but thinking much has changed is just wishful thinking.

Chances of legislation being overturned = "no chance in hell" according to the American Gaming Association.

Ack! This is terrible journalism. This reads like a soap opera gossip column.

1. It's the Las Vegas Sun, the junior paper is a town where journalism is a very low priority.

2. It's not an article, it's a column, which means it isn't subject to the same criteria as hard news.

3. If Frank J. Fahrenkopf, president and CEO of the American Gaming Association, is quoted as saying, "No chance in hell," I don't think it matters whether the quote appeared in a gossipy column from a rag paper. If he said it, he said it. The big question is, "What is the AGA's position towards online gaming?" Because maybe he's just spinning.
