Honest, the notion of gun control is a misnomer. no one has proposed at any credible level or wasn't even the legislation that i saw, that had to do with actually taking away people's guns or any of the rhetoric you saw at the nra convention. had to do with background checks. which, by the way, the nra used to support. so i mean, the reality is, i don't think this is going to be an issue that democrats are going to be pushing. it may come up. obviously, i think the republicans are going to try to exploit it politically into states that they're talking about, which is kind of the red states, wh...

Presidential campaign. but i'm not sure if it's going to work. i sort of agree with donny that this is a big, big, big bet on the american people's idea of the role of government. and it's potentially a huge disaster for the democrats. >> if the president does what howard is prescribing a big campaign the sequencing is tricky. at the same time he's contemplating the big campaign, you got senate democrats getting panicked. you ask mark pry or in arkansas, you ask mary landrieu in louisiana, these are all democrats who were elected in 2008, red states, states that mitt romney in some cases won o...
