No Republican can win if he goes against the NRA that close to an election.

It will be a voice vote on a bill voted on after midnight on a Friday as a rider attached to a bill increasing military pay or some other conservative "must pass" legislation. No individual vote will be on the record. You won't know who voted for and who voted against.

We will surely know which Rrepublican President signs or vetoes it. If bush signs it he will lose the election and he knows it.

If bush signs it he will lose the election and he knows it.

He's already on the record as saying he will sign it when it is presented to him. He was asked about it during the 2000 election. He didn't seem too concerned then especially since after he specifically said that he would sign it, you voted for him anyway. That's the way it will go in 2004 as well. You, and most of the people here who claim they will not vote for him, will end up voting for him anyway given the alternatives. He has nothing to lose. He will get your vote anyway and he will pick up a few Democrat voters for signing it.

I hate to say all this, but it is true. I would like for the bill to quietly die, but I'm afraid it will be renewed. No one is working for its repeal. But the other side, the Brady Bunch and others, are working to keep it.

This morning during the Senate Judiciary Committee meeting with Ashcroft and Mueller, Feinstein brought up the AWB. She reminded Ashcroft that he claimed that he supported the AWB during his confirmation hearings and that President Bush made campaign promises of support for the current bill and more. She asked point blank if Justice and Bush were going to support a 2004 AWB. Ashcroft dissembled and never answered her question.
