How many co sponsors is a good amount?
I'm really wondering where we are standing now. We know Harrah's launched a online subsidiary, and has thrown 400,000 at us this quarter in lobbying. Our chances have to be going up, right?

More are better, as the quantity of cosponsors helps us show support for our position. Still, bills pass with ten or fewer cosponsors all the time, so it's not really a predictor of probability of passage.
I think our standing has greatly improved over last year, and it's WAY higher than it was in the dark days when UIGEA passed. I thank every poker player who took a stand.
New cosponsors!

Well how many cosponsers would you think gives us a really good chance of passing? Like how many before we think it is significant enough that we have a really good chance?

I'd like to see 50 or more. I think that will be enough for Rep. Frank to move it forward.
