Sorry, I wasn't very clear in my explanation. It was during the run-up to the Congressional election of 2006 that I had this “conversation”. The FReeper was planning not to vote in the election, but was trying to reassure me, during the course of the conversation, that folks from Michigan would NEVER vote for a “gun grabber” candidate for President. This was in response to my efforts to convince him that he should vote in the election and not leave the outcome to chance—or Democrats.
Now it appears that Michigan will be a blue state and we could, possibly, be stuck with a Dem President, Dem House AND Dem Senate. That was the only point I was trying to make.

The point I was trying to make was sometimes, for whatever reason, special interest groups don't vote the way we expect and that we, being unable to see the future, should ALWAYS vote. (I hope I explained it better this time.)
