Ugh... I read the bill on the flight up to NYC this morning, the opt-out clause for the States scares the crap out of me b/c I could see the current administration in Florida opting out (which would be much worse for us than we have it now... as in say good-bye to any internet poker). C'mon Barney, regulation of the internet falls under interstate commerce, use the Commerce Clause and tell the States to pound sand.

This was one of the biggest concerns I had when I looked it over. I was hoping that I was making a big deal in my head about nothing though, so I decided to pretend I didn't notice that part and still be thrilled about the bill.

If you think about it though, I wonder what states like Nevada are going to do? Is it more beneficial for them to not allow it and give more business to the B&M casinos, or is it better for them to allow people to gamble (from Nevada) on sites like MGM.com? I have to think the latter, but then again, people in our government are stupid.

As for Florida... man, I just don't know. Will the states get any cut of their players' action? If so, I have to think they are going to be behind this... but if not, uh oh.
