For Prop 15 the NRA had registered more than 300,000 new voters through California gun stores. Few of them were Bradley fans. Bradley lost by little more than 93,000 votes to his opponent, George Deukmejian. Bradley learned his lesson. On a subsequent failed campaign for governor in 1986 he abandoned his anti-handgun stance.

That's from no less than the Violence Policy Center.

If you haven’t read the Obamedia’s new crock called the “bandwagon effect” that is now being pimped on the front page of Yahoo, you’ve got to check it out. Somebody has really been smoking too much happy smoke. LOL! The “bandwagon effect.” Funny stuff. Don’t do drugs.

The NRA has run commercials in swing states educating voters about Obama's radical anti-gun position. Its paying off in the tightening polls. The Democrats can blame it on racism. An Obama loss will be attributable to other factors, most notably that he is the most radical leftist we've had in American history running for the nation's highest office.

Bradley or Brady or both, the fact is the polls did NOT reflect at all what would happen on election day. The same will happen on Nov 4. The polls will be proven to be complete garbage and mac will waltz into the White House.

I had a conversation last weekend with my father about this “Bradley Effect” business. We both voted in that election in ‘82, and his comment was that Bradley lost because he was incompetent as mayor of LA, and no-one wanted him running the whole state.

That being said, Obama may lose due to the same effect, and it has nothing to do with race.

I really could care less WHY 0bama loses, just as long as he does lose.

“...right-to-carry permits...”

You don’t need a “permit” to exercise a “right.”

hardcore Liberals have a more difficult time facing reality. It is much easier for them to cry "racism" than swallow the truth.
that and this...Is the truth.

This is all good, BUT, the 2nd Amendment crowd always goes Republican. This year will be no different. I don’t see this making much difference unless the NRA has registered a lot of new voters.

As a U.S. Senator, Obama voted to ban most rifle ammunition ...he voted to uphold local gun bans and the criminal prosecution of citizens and homeowners who use a gun .... raising the federal excise tax on firearms and ammunition 500 percent. And Obama supports gun registration ...

All of which is elucidated by pointing out that he is a doctrinaire Marxist and holds to the monopoly of force being reposed in the State, which is the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

This doctrine is diametrically opposed, for the most obvious reasons, to the distribution of power and its tools that is a hallmark of the U.S. Constitution.
