this was an effort designed to curb online poker and gaming, but where does horse racing fit into all of this

Ah, Somer; I ask myself the same thing about you. (SOOOO teasing-- you know I think you're the bee's knees).

Hey, I spent last election knocking on doors in the pouring rain-- fat lot of good it did my candidate...

I just didn't like Kerry...all that crap about him mortgaging his home while he's married to one of the richest women around...I plain didn't trust him, besides he looked like Lurch! Algore? How can you vote for that squirrel? I mean besides inventing the internet...lol! I just hope the Dems nominate someone I can vote for!!! I want Hillary to be the nominee! There are a couple more I could support but she's at the top of my list! Now if the republicans nominate Rudy...I'd have to think about it...I do like that guy!

Jerry
I like him a lot, he'd get my vote in a heartbeat but I don't think it's his time yet cause he's not that well known...Clinton and him would be a great ticket though!

Scav · #19 10-02-2006, 03:08 PM

i just emailed Pinnacle to see what they have to say

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your email.

This bill does not expressly make Internet gaming illegal, nor does it look to target players who enjoy gambling online. Instead, it seeks to prevent online players by restricting the methods bettors can use to fund their Internet wagers.
