Payback: Reid attacks online gaming to pay off his casino pals

Harry Reid

On Election Day--and before of course--Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) mobilized his army of union casino workers to get out the vote for President Obama and his fellow Democrats. It's time for payback. Reid, along with Sen. John Kyl, a lame duck Republican from Arizona, is drafting a bill that would ban online gaming except for poker.

State lotteries want to get into the online gaming business--a state such as Illinois where I live certainly could use the money--won't be able to if Harry Reid and his casino allies get their way.
