GOODLATTE AND KYL STILL IN OFFICE (Update)
US anti-online gambling politicians kept on by voters
The names of three US politicians have repeatedly cropped up in online gambling industry news these last few years. Goodlatte, Kyl and Leach were the members of Congress most determined to bring about the downfall of Internet gambling in the USA, despite their predilection for carve-outs for other forms of gambling.
The mid-term elections this week removed one of the trio when Representative Jim Leach was given his marching orders by Iowa voters, but Goodlatte and Kyl remain in power.
With little opposition, Rep. Bob Goodlatte easily coasted to his eighth term in office, claiming a whopping 75 percent of the Virginia 6th District vote.
In Arizona, Sen. Jon Kyl had a tougher fight on his hands but ultimately defeated millionaire shopping mall developer Jim Pederson in what is being described as the most expensive Arizona Senate Race yet. The contest turned on voters' attitudes about national security and illegal immigration.
Kyl, who won his third term, moves up in Republican leadership with the defeat of Sen. Rick Santorum in Pennsylvania. Kyl said he now plans to run for Santorum's position as chairman of the Senate Republican conference.
Kyl received 486 888 votes, or about 52 percent, with 95 percent of precincts reporting. Pederson had 412 174 votes, or about 44 percent.
