We will have to see how it works out.

Obama's Promise to Protect Internet Good For Online Casinos
President-elect Obama and his advisers have established a website at change.gov listing their plans for governing after his inauguration. Among the programs and ideas expressed on the site is a pledge to protect the Internet from censorship and government interference, a promise which brightens the prospects for the online gambling industry.

Unfortunately, on the casino side Bush is trying to ram through legislation to ban online gaming.

New regulations designed to thwart online gambling have the financial institutions that must abide by them throwing up their hands. For one thing, the rules do not clearly define what constitutes "unlawful Internet gambling."

Meanwhile on the AG front, it seems that Holder used to be pretty hard against porn. So I guess it's going to be a wait & see.

Obama's AG Pick Has Anti-Porn Past
Holder has not spoken publicly about his current feelings regarding obscenity prosecution since his days at Justice, so hopefully that topic will be broached during Holder's Senate confirmation hearings, and/or by the major news media who may conduct their own "vetting" process.
