I asked McCain about sports betting and Internet gaming, and whether any Nevada Republicans or gaming industry representatives had approached him about those issues.

“The issue of college betting is not going anywhere. … The sports betting thing, that was over years ago,” he added. “I’ve faced reality. It’s just like with immigration reform. Americans want a secure border.”

On Internet gaming, McCain was just off his game. First he tried to back away from his position because he hasn’t been involved in it lately. Then he said it was really fellow Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl’s deal.
