The whole article is well worth reading, I have only posted the fist part, tho' I'm sure a more skillfull editing job could have been done. Too close to hay hitting time for me to attempt it, though.

There are many things, many negative things to contemplate here. Including just why gambling can very easily get out of control of all but those running the book.

Thanks for posting it, I was just about to do it.

"Key Indian tribes aren't satisfied with pumping more than $5 million into Mr. Bustamante's campaign. Polls suggest that Mr. Bustamante has stalled, so the only way to prevent a surge from Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger may be to shift some of his conservative support to maverick State Sen. Tom McClintock, who is running between 14% and 18% in the latest surveys. Last Friday the Morongo Band of Mission Indians began airing independent-expenditure ads in support of Mr. McClintock.

And another telling quote:

"Sources tell me they have seen a memo from David Quintana, the legal counsel for the California Nations Indian Gaming Association, that was sent to tribal leaders. In it Mr. Quintana raised a warning flag about Mr. Schwarzenegger's positions and his reliance on several aides to former governor Pete Wilson, a skeptic on the expansion of Indian gambling. "This is war, we're going after Arnold Schwarzenegger," the memo concluded. The decision to invest in an effort to stop Mr. Schwarzenegger was made at a private strategy meeting last month, from which several more-moderate tribes were excluded. Participants discussed the need to keep Mr. McClintock in the race on "life support."

Well, my goodness, where are all the comments by Clintockians on this thread? I expected they'd be all over this story, explaining how the fact that their boy is in the pocket of one of the biggest special interest groups in the state is proof of his broad based support. [cough]
