Obama for Online Gambling?

August 18, 2008

If you are at all interested in online gambling and would like to see it legal someday, then you are going to want to vote for Obama. McCain seems to follow the Republican right and has not said that he would be willing to legalize it in any form, but Obama has.

But we must be clear � in that Obama has not said that he supports online gambling either, but he is a Democrat and they are gung ho on taxing online gambling. Let�s face it, you can�t tax online gambling unless you are willing to legalize it, so you stand a better chance.

This means that by taxing online gambling, they are going to have to regulate online gambling, which means they are going to have to legalize online gambling � which is good for all of us. But we may not have to wait as long as we think we might have to.

With California looking to make online gambling legal within their state, and Nevada kicking the idea around as well, it is only a matter of time before the state�s decide one by one if they are going to have legalized online gambling or not. California has already done the research and is well aware of the benefits that legalizing online gambling will have for their bottom line.

Experts say that with California looking to make it legal, and Obama not really being against it, that online gambling could be legal within the next three years if he wins the presidency. If McCain gets the seat, chances are it won�t happen until after he leaves office.
