There was never a major push for online poker legalization since the online poker supply never really dissipated. It may have changed hands somewhat (party poker leaving, etc) but as we all well know, you could play if you really wanted to play.

It looks like the supply of online poker is all but gone. Sure some of the smaller sites may supply some services but we can't be sure. They'll be next on the FBI list if they make any kind of substantial gain.

On the plus side, when there's a high demand for something and little to no supply, an entrepreneurial mind usually comes along and finds a way to create that supply. In this case, online poker legalization. While this may be a short term nightmare, it could be a medium/long term dream come true for those of us remembering the golden days of online poker.
