it's really dominating the political ads.

Oregon also has a casino vote this year. -- nm - Bacon Nov 5, 08:23 3
- Yeah, but that's pretty much DOA. -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Nov 5, 08:24 2
  - Yep. BTW the Beavers game was wonderful. I was all decked out in my Ducks gear and they were very respectful of me. - Bacon Nov 5, 08:27 1
    - Beavers love Bacon. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:39
Still surprised the Post endorsed this -- nm - prayformoJaws Nov 5, 08:07 5
- I'm not really. The logic seemed to come down to a state should try to keep it's money within it's state when times are lena. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 08:10 4
  - But when there's not going to be any financial upside for the citizens, and it makes something as regressively depleting as gambling more accessible - prayformoJaws Nov 5, 08:17 3
    - There is an upside...there's money now available in the budget. - Will Hunting Nov 5, 08:19 2
      - Honestly, I'd be far more open to the idea that gaming = bad, but next to no one has framed this year's thing here in those terms. - Will Hunting Nov 5, 08:23 1
        
        Yeah, the smoking measure here has taken the same tack. - spamlet Nov 5, 08:36
I voted yes last week. -- nm - kelly Nov 5, 08:06 5
- Lavar Arrington got to you, didn't he? -- nm - prayformoJaws Nov 5, 08:06 4
  - Did you see the state senator's comment to Franchot? "I know you're running for governor, but I'm not sure if it's MD or WV based on your comments?" -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 08:14 1
    - nice. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:23
  - His hair is a damn mess in that commercial -- nm - MDH Nov 5, 08:07 1
    - I started glazing over what was being said in the commercial and noticed thta -- nm - prayformoJaws Nov 5, 08:17
do they have a similar vote for Rhode Island too? -- nm - The Man With The Golden CQ Nov 5, 08:04 11
- Maryland's is to allow table games, build another casino and basically keep some money in Maryland that's going to WV/PA/DE. - Will Hunting Nov 5, 08:09 9
  - If you voted? You don't vote? - Krusty Nov 5, 08:36 3

      - *smh* I am genuinely surprised. - Krusty Nov 5, 08:51 1
        
        nuh-uh! not if you've got to take out the garbage! -- nm - mdh's errand-running friend si Nov 5, 08:55
  - Today on the radio I heard an ad by the Md State Comptroller saying that not one dime would go to education. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:13 4
    - Franchot is basically saying not one dollar more is going to education. - Will Hunting Nov 5, 08:16 3
      - that's not what it sounded like. I figured it was some technicality like that. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:20 2
        
        Those ads are paid for by the WV gaming industry...Franchot is either willfully in their pocket or he's an idiot. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 08:21 1
        
        I really wondered who was paying him. why else would he bother? -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:22
- I believe so. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:06
