Was it a .50cal round?

Yeah. I saw a brief bit of the debate this morning on the news. Brown held up a .50cal round and accused Poochigian of not wanting to ban them. Chuck pulled the cap off of his ink pen and said the streets of Oakland are full of bodies shot with bullets smaller than this.

You can watch the full debate at your leisure at this link (Flash Player required).

Brown continuously tries to paint Poochigian as an "extremist" with constant comparisons to Schwarzenegger and Wilson (both of whom he describes as "conservatives"). With respect to the environment, he also refers to "11 extreme Republicans" in the State Senate (there are only 14) that voted along with Poochigian and he lauds Wilson and Schwarzenegger for "taking a progressive position on the environment."

He says Global Warming is the most important issue facing the entire world and lauds AB 32 as "this wonderful law that Arnold Schwarzenegger signed on reducing greenhouse gases," talking about the AG's role in advising the Air Resources Board in its implementation and in the probable lawsuits "from the big oil companies and from George Bush and his allies." He says he will "be tough on air polluters and making sure we enforce these laws."

Poochigian comes off great--I sure hope there is some big movement in his direction in the next month!
