The Republicans’ last two national party platforms opposed Internet
gambling. Online poker players want a new deal at this year’s

this election cycle. And the group will sponsor events at both

Lawmakers
disagree over defining online gambling
Associated Press By Erica Werner -
June 26, 2008 Lawmakers failed Wednesday to agree on setting a clear

Treasury Department have been unable to finalize rules to
implement the ban because Congress didn't clearly define
online gambling when it passed legislation less than two years
ago.
