This libertarian guy is just doing it to get publicity and won't ever have a chance of winning anything.

If you want poker to be legal in NYC, form a PAC and lobby the state legislature.

Forming a PAC is probably pretty easy. It is here in Mass, all you need to do is file paperwork.

There are going to be enough rich people in NYC that one or two of them who play poker can get you bankrolled enough to get a little publicity and perhaps then you can raise more money to hire a professional lobbyist.
