Gary-- It hope it turns into a horse race.

By the way did AB&G issue a press release at the time of the stock holders meeting detailing the cost cutting actions,and the closing of the Austin office? By the looks of the low volume it appears that we should let more people in on the good news. I'll send a E-Mail to JTO and ask his opinion.

Gary: This is another reason why Beasley calling a special session on video poker is unlikely. The following is from The State article:

"The anti-Beasley voters are said to be a mixture of Confederate-flag supporters, video-poker enthusiasts and backers of a state-run lottery. Beasley tried unsuccessfully to remove the banner from the State House dome and opposes video poker and a lottery."

I doubt if Beasley is foolish enough to compound the error he made by trying to force a losing issue in the regular session by pushing it again in a special session. He lost the issue and he apparently lost votes in the process. If his motivation for video poker bashing is re-election posturing, as I have suspected for a long time, this primary vote suggests he is barking up the wrong tree and, therefore, he is more likely to back away quietly from the issue.
