Democrats question McCain gambling ties

The Democratic National Committee is up with a new web video seeking to capitalize on a new report about John McCain's ties to the gambling industry.

The New York Times reported on Sunday about McCain's role and that of lobbyists close to him in shaping the growth of the $26 billion annual gambling business on Indian reservations.

The stark video, without any narration, shows McCain admitting with a smile, "Well, I am a betting man."

Then it shows on screen, "Betting on McCain? Casino Lobbyists Are," with a citation of the Times story.

"John McCain Stacked The Deck For His Favorite Lobbyists," it says on the screen, followed by photos of lobbyists Scott Reed and Wes Gullett, then the words: "And They Returned The Favor."

1. The Indian gambling ties are nothing compared to the debt he owes to the BCCI-Lindner Mobs

2. Careful with this one...

Christine Gregoire and the WA State Democratic Party are controlled by tribal gambling interests who have felonized online poker and its advertising and advocacy.

4. Good grief

Nothing to be careful about

What does Gregoire have to do with this?
