Jim Leach Has a Gambling Problem

Believe it or not, this is actually from the Evans-Novak Political Report

Moderate Rep. Jim Leach (R-Iowa) had a gambling problem — not to say that he gambled, but he was the driving force behind a bill that all but banned gambling over the Internet. He was the victim of the so-called “Green Velvet Revolution,” a campaign by the Internet gambling industry and gamblers to defeat those who pushed the measure. Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) survived this campaign. Leach had had serious races in the past — most recently in 2002 — but he was apparently not ready for college professor Dave Loebsack (D).

Hat tip goes out to Nolan Dalla for posting this on BARGE.
