I'm still wary about the Republicans in down ballot races simply because Sheldon Adelson is the largest Republican donor and public enemy #1 to us Online players.

Bernie Sanders wasn't anywhere near as hostile to Online Poker as Marco Rubio and Lindsay Graham have been, and Harry Reid has been a reliable goal tender in recent years at stopping further bans on Online Poker in the US.

ppa released their jokers in 2012 and it was majority Republicans. I think it still was in 2014 but I didn't see that list.

Harry Reid has been a reliable goal tender in recent years at stopping further bans on Online Poker in the US.

I'm confused here, is he for or against it? I was assuming you meant he was helping stop passing further bans on online poker.

I had a look at his wiki page and it said he was against it but more recently has changed his views on online poker due to what many people believe is funding from Vegas Casinos who as far as I'm aware are some of the biggest opponents of online poker in the first place. So it doesn't add up.

The issue of online poker is somewhat null though. It won't be too long till the games are beaten by computers which will kill the games.
