I highly doubt that.

Most of the public is not in communication with their senators. Most senators I assure you could not care less about internet gambling. I actually doub that most senators share the same religious vindication that the "religious right" does when it comes to this bill.

The system is designed such that senators respond to the people, not the other way around. If the people say "Gambling is evil, we want it abolished." then the senators will try to make it so. It brings it votes, and that means they get to bring in money and have a desk in the senate chamber which provides a forum for their other political ideas.
