Will There Be Legal Online Poker In The U.S. Within 12 Months?

Cant see it happening that quickly.

Yes exactly. Obama will be gone before they get their act together.

I have little confidence in our US Government to regulate poker anytime soon

Yes exactly. Obama will be gone before they get their act together.

I hope so we need it

It will get much worse but then rise in the sky.

I have faith it will be legalized in less than 2 years from now, the states really needs that extra income they can tax from the poker sites. It will help the economy, pay some debts, and keep players and affiliates happy while the world runs out of silver.

Just like legalizing "something else" most politicians cant comprehend that the tax revenue alone would solve majority of our debt.Then again they would just find some new entitlement program to blow all the $$ on sooooo.....

[RaiseandFold]

Any type of bill introduced will become so bogged down with either earmarks or non poker related items it will likely not happen. The opposers will want funds for this/that and the other while those that are for it will want special benefits for their states. It will be nothing but politics as usual.
