Open Question: McCain or Obama better for RACING?

Has either candidate taken a position on gambling in general, or racing specifically? Just curious on what anyone has heard on what we could expect with either guy.

Hell, the media has tried to tie the election to everything else...

Privately,both admit they would turn their back to state run shell games.

Did you think you would get a serious answer here?

Well..why don't you take a crack at it?

I really don't believe it was a serious question to begin with...to be honest.

In fact..I think you are partners in deception with the other guy.

Yes.

I think you both thought it would be quite spiffy to throw out a set up, lame brain question as has been displayed ....just begging for a snotty reply....only to have you join in and make the comment you in fact did make.

Oh you two aren't fooling anyone here.

the important jurisdiction for racing is at the state level. that's where it's regulated.

asking what the candidates for president think isn't completely without merit but it's like asking what they'll do about the pothole in front of your driveway.

happy now?
