Bad idea, I say.
Are not some of the conservative talking points, small government and personal responsability? I am rather good at holdem. Go to the Turning Stone on a monthly basis. I routinely triple my money. Why should the government tell me I can't do it from my own home? But yet, you are are allowed to smoke "cigars" with "brandy". Both are just as bad, if not worse, than a "game" of skill....
