The real question,
At least for us pro-gun Dems, is:
Given that Senator Obama is personally anti-gun, but seems to correctly interpret the 2nd Amendment, and given that we are likely to have (finally!) a Supreme Court ruling on what the bloody thing actually means, will President Obama (if there is one) conform to the ruling, or pursue legislation that goes the other way?
And if, as I think he will, he picks a pro-gun Westerner as his VP, what influence will that have on his actions as President? FWIW, I'm thinking it'll be Bill Richardson, as he's a termed out, popular governor from the area that the Dems must carry some states in, he passed on a run for the Senate (which he almost cetainly would have won), and he endorsed Obama. (And took nuclear-fireball levels of heat from the Clintons for doing so.)
That, I really don't know the answer to.
