This week’s Business Press poll question

The chances of getting any kind of bill through Congress this year to legalize online gambling appear all but dead. Sources did report, though, that Internet gambling opponents were negotiating some details on the online poker bill backed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Some of the details being talked about in these negotiations reportedly dealt with including some kind of “blackout period” to keep existing websites from being able to get licensed immediately.

Do you think some kind of online gambling bill could be approved when Congress reconvenes next year?
