I recently posted a list compiled by Let the People Play of poker player’s worst enemies in Congress. Let’s see how we did so far.
Enemies of poker are on the left with their opponents on the right.
George Allen Vs. James Webb – Coming down to the wire with the last reports having Democrat, Webb ahead 50/49 with 99% of precincts reporting.
Jim Talent Vs. Claire McCaskill – Jim Talent of Missouri concedes defeat
Conrad Burns Vs. Jon Tester – Too close to call. 50/48 in favor of Tester with 75% precincts reporting
Mike DeWine Vs. Sherrod Brown – Brown over DeWine 56/44.
Rick Santorum Vs. Bob Casey Jr. – Casey wins 59/41.
Lincoln Chaffee Vs. Sheldon Whitehouse – Whitehouse wins 53/47.
Of the six races, four have been decided in favor of poker players with two races still too close to call.

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.

I would say that poker players made out just fine because of all the democrats that took office. They will probably soon legalize pot and poker :D
