Actually, the socially conservative, "blue collar" wing of the DNC continues to have good relationships with the NRA. Rep. John Dingell (D) of Michigan is a classic example of an NRA supported Democrat.

Let me emphasize the point that it was those pro-life, pro-gun, working class, "Reagan Democrats" who delivered the critical swing votes that insured the presidency for Dubya in 2000. Though Bush will once again get the single issue pro-life voters next year, the pro-gun voters will be a lot more problematic unless Bush's current White House political advisors are replaced with those who oppose renewal the 1994 assault weapons ban, and Bush himself states he will NOT sign that bill.

If the "the socially conservative, "blue collar" wing of the DNC" or members of the NRA vote for Dean, they get what they deserve.

Wisdom calls for the voter to compare the two canidates views on ALL, eh hmmmm A - L - L the issues and vote for the one who scores higher. There are only two canidates that have a chance to win. It's A or B (C is a vote for B and not voting is a vote for B).
