Thanks for the info — I was wrong — only Northern Marianas gets a non-state vote — why is that?

>> “Steele has a reputation as a gun grabber.” First I’ve heard of that, any evidence?

You ask a fair question.

Google “michael steele gun control”.

One example hit: http://www.ontheissues.org/Domestic/Michael_Steele_Gun_Control.htm

PERHAPS “gun grabber” is a bit harsh. But his reply doesn’t give me confidence that he views gun ownership as the right that protects all others. Instead, “society should draw lines”. Gee, that sounds a lot like Obama and Eric Holder and Joe Biden to me.

Read for yourself:

“Q: Your views on gun control?
A: My views are pretty much in line with the governor’s. I grew up under some of the strictest gun control laws in the country. You can have all the gun control laws in the country, but if you don’t enforce them, people are going to find a way to protect themselves. We need to recognize that bad people are doing bad things with these weapons. It’s not the law-abiding citizens, it’s not the person who uses it as a hobby.

Q: Should people have access to buy assault weapons?

A: Society should draw lines. What do you need an assault weapon for, if you’re going hunting? That’s overkill. But I don’t think that means you go to a total ban for those who want to use gun for skeet shooting or hunting or things like that But what’s the point of passing gun laws if we’re not going to enforce them? If you want to talk about gun control, that’s where you need to start. We’ve got 300 gun laws on the books right now. At the end of the day, it’s about how we enforce the law.”

Arg — the Wikipedia list is incomplete. The territories do all get a vote. I think I will shut up now... :-)

Pretty obvious that Dawson picked up the lions share of Duncan’s votes.

What!?! Steele is down now? I guess I spoke too soon.

Man, if Steele doesn’t win this I’m gonna be disappointed.

Katon Dawson head of the SC GOP. A good conservative BUT do we really want a Southerner with a country club problem at this time?

From an earlier post:

Dawson recently resigned from an all-whites country club. Press will have a field day if he’s chosen. They’ll never drop it.

You were right. Steele gained, but Dawson got the lion’s share.

Looking like a 2 man race now - Steele v Dawson.

Blackwell or Saul A. could play the kingmaker.
