John McCain and legalized gambling

Well US election season is upon us and while gambling isn’t the most pressing issue - I can think of a few more important ones - it’s finally surfaced in the campaign coverage.

I ran across an interesting series of articles on John McCain’s ties to the Native casino industry. I’m no McCain supporter, far from it, but I thought I’d post these if people were interested in his history with the gaming business.

Apparently he’s a gambler himself, though not a poker player - he prefers the craps tables.
