End of On-Line Poker in the US and the WSOP

I wonder how many entries the WSOP Main Event is going to lose because of the end of on-line poker in the US.  This has to make a major dent.

Why don't the brilliant minds in Washington capitalize on this. All they have to do is make it legal and tax it and we could wipe out half of the national debt! Idiots! They can't stop it. It was like booze back in the 30's. I'd like to know how much time and money it cost the tax payers to get all those "bad guys" off their computers. If they took care of some serious issues that we have going on, maybe this country would become the world leader that we used to be, instead of a third world country divided by, and run by a bunch of "clowns."

Stuart Murray:
for someone looking from the outside it seems amazingly archaic to not allow online poker in the US, the differences between states on gambling to me seems amazing also, the US definitely needs to follow the route the UK did with the UK Gambling Commission becoming a co-enforcer of Gambling Law in the country, applying a universal rule, jointly enforced by each local authority.  We have our problems with Gambling Law being old fashioned in areas but the US makes us look like were in the 22nd century!

Far be it from me to claim the politicians in the US have any Brain Cells

I would imagine that a nationwide recession would hamper the field more than ability to sattellite in online, but I could be wrong...
