I'm embarrassed to have John Kyl as my senator, but I think the pro-poker folks came off pretty well, while he looked like your typical hypocritical "conservative"--less government regulation of business, unless it's some business I find personally immoral, in which case let's ban it outright. Total douche.

While I dislike the idea of government regulation and taxation, I have no doubt that making on-line poker more easily accessible, easier to advertise, and with less of a threat of losing your whole bankroll to some shady off-shore operator will draw in fish by the tankfuls. It will also spark competition between sites. It won't happen as long as we have "conservatives" in power though.
