By far my favorite part of the article is the paragraph that says in Dec., 2000 Congress expanded the Interstate Horseracing Act to include "all electronic media". What actually happened is that Mitch McConnell snuck this onto the Commerce, State, Justice Appropriations bill at the tail end of the session.

Also, the clout of the dying horserace industry relative to lotteries and casinos continues to mystify me. But they get preferential treatment in all the internet gambling bills. Surely the casinos have equally good lobbyists. Maybe, it's that off track betting is already firmly established.
