Default Re: Sen. Lott reportedly set to resign

The article says Kyl is poised to be the next minority whip. Do you think this could be problematic for the legalization of online poker, since Kyl is one of our biggest enemies?

Absolutely. If the GOP ever wins back the Senate, the anti-gambling forces will be able to get whatever legislation they want passed.

It says he's running. I wouldn't be too sure of him winning. Outside of gambling, he really hasn't been on anyone's political radar that I can think of, which means either he's very good at backroom politicking or he's a minor player. Too many of the other 48 people involved are going to want that job for it to be uncontested.

I take it, then, each of these states are going to have to hold special elections so the scumbags can get into their cushy lobbying jobs quicker?

no, the governors appoint a senator until the next scheduled election ('08).
