Money/Ignorance 
 
Money - They say it's harder to tax gambling on the web, but how do companies like ebay/amazon exist? They have to get taxed somehow. If it's for the fact it's harder to tax "foreign" gambling sites, then make it illegal to play on "foreign" sites and I'm sure there will be PLENTY of US based sites which will open. As for any other "cheating" issues, if poker was legal, they could set up a "department" to go around and use our tax money to monitor the software/use of these sites.
 
Money - It's feared that people will spend their "bill money" on gambling and end up in an alleyway... yet (in my state) lotto/bingo/horse races are allowed... because that makes sense.
 
Ignorance - MANY people are still under the mindset that "poker is [I]bad[/I]." They don't know why they feel that was "they just do." However, the good thing about online gaming is that hopefully in the next 10 - 20 years (I know a while), the people who play online now will be the next generation in office and be able to change things.
 
 
BTW: could the political portions of this thread maybe have their own thread? I feel bad hijacking the OP.
