Mike Sexton is about to embark on a weeklong "rampage" -- heading to New York and possibly Washington DC to diplomatically blitz the media with declarations of poker injustice. While some may contend that the host of the WPT might have been better off doing this before internet gambling prohibition became a reality ... doing so probably wouldn't have gotten much more notice than Chris Ferguson, Howard Lederer, and Greg Raymer going to DC -- which was obviously not enough to put a stop the Senate's anti-poker political trickery. At least this way, as the non-poker media is certainly aware of what's going on now, the most significant poker beefs have a better chance of being heard by the largest audience.
While Sexton's ambassadorial megaphone still may not be enough to persuade George Bush to wield his seldom uncapped veto pen, it could go a long way to kicking into gear the necessary mechanisms to get things changed over the next year or two.
