Democrats show less fear of gun control legislation

But the votes are still expected to be close -- so close that supporters are hoping that the two leading Democratic presidential contenders, Sens. John Edwards, D-N.C., and John Kerry, D-Mass., will return to Washington from their campaigns and to vote.

I think I heard on the radio this morning that Kerry will NOT be coming to FL to campaign in order to vote on this bill.

What a putz!

Kerry to party in D.C. Super Tuesday



WASHINGTON, March 1 (UPI) -- U.S. Sen. John Kerry's decision to participate in Tuesday's Senate gun control vote means he will celebrate Super Tuesday in Washington.

The Democratic presidential front-runner plans to attend a party at the Old Post Office Pavilion in Washington so he can participate in a Senate vote on a gun bill Tuesday, campaign spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter told UPI.

The vote will decide whether to renew the ban on assault-type weapons and extend background checks to gun shows. Also scheduled to attend the vote is Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., who is fighting Kerry for the nomination.
