Refer to BBDan's thread on Antigua demading billions from the US in the WTO dispute.

The most fearful parties here are the motion picture industy annd the recording biz. It's their copyrights that Antigua would have the right to infringe should the US lose on appeal

Man, all those blockbuster films and platinum albums being shipped off to a bargain-hungry world!

The pressure must already be coming out of HWood for Washington to get wise. But the current admin is not oriented toward Hwood, but rather to the Sahara of the Bozart, ie the Bible Belt.

But both Obama and Hillary have huge money contributors in Tinseltown. Famous directors and actors behind Obama, media megabillionair Haim Saban backing the lady.

Personally, I don't like either of 'em, I'm in the political Fantasy League and support Rep Paul. But if online betting is your main thing, best to back the black or the blonde.

Because if either of them win the White House Hwood will have a lot of pull, and the pressure to settle with Antigua and kill the UIGEA will be intense.

Bet on it.

I dont think it will matter. I think they both supported anti-gaming bills.

don't vote. if you vote, the gov will have more info on you.

Maybe so, but not because of conviction, but pratical politics. It was practical at the time to lipsinc the family values lyrics.

If Antigua is upheld, there will be gnashing of teeth and rending of garments, from the hills of Hollywood to the beaches of Malibu to the NY distribution centers.

Their wailing will much more have the ear of the two noted than F. Thompson, M.Romney et al. Better to have your Red State antagonists weeping and moaning over "family values" than watching the studios securities become penny stock.

A nice quiet Executive Order by Pres Hillary Obama, to submerge the UIGEA and get on with the main business of buying and selling.

Which is what America is all about, isn't it?

i'm voting republican like always. will never support a democrat.

[Aces]

I'd rather be an outlaw than vote Democrat. Gambling has been around since the begining of time. Roman Soldiers gambled at the foot of the cross Jesus was nailed to. Gambling will have its ups and downs as always but it will never become a political issue for me. National Security, Taxation and I could go on and on about things that make up my decision when i vote. If you want to vote Dem thats great I respect your right to do so but if gambling is a major factor in your decision making process you should seriously evaluate the other issues.

It's all bullshit anyway, does it really make a difference who you vote for?
