Hillary Clinton: Online poker supporter?

The Las Vegas Sun published an article last week that provided a brief summary on the major Democratic presidential candidate’s positions on online gambling. Of the three front-runners, the state position of Hillary Clinton seems to be the most favorable for the online poker lobby, although her official position is still far from an endorsement of legal, regulated poker online.
Excerpt from the Sun article:
Clinton: Supports the industry’s position: to study Internet gambling to see whether it can be fairly regulated so that individuals can safely participate in it and American businesses can compete in the international market.
Edwards: Opposes legalization, doubting it can be controlled.
Obama: Worries that the Internet is “a Wild West of illegal activity”; supports a study of Internet gambling and supports regulation to address the worst abuses.
