NO.
Expect Obama to highlight Rep. Giffords in his speech as an inspiration to the nation, but without explicit reference to gun control. When she recovers and returns to Congress, Gabby will introduce a gun control bill named for the 9-year-old girl who was killed. It has no doubt already been drafted by White House staffers and Pelosi/Reid. Pressure will be intense on Republicans not to block the bill lest they be seen as “trying to assassinate Gabby all over again.”
In 2012, Joe Biden will be eased off the ticket and made Secretary of State (Hillary Clinton will get the next open Supreme Court seat as consolation prize). Obama will then name Gabby Giffords as his VP running mate. Already canonized by the press, she will help Obama sweep to his second term. Mark my words, they have no shame and they will do this.
