Just finished watching. Wayne held his own, but really needs to work on his rhetoric and public presence. It wasn't that what he said wasn't true, but like the NRA in general, they're still off in their windage in framing the question and getting it over teh plate. The could invest in a little market research to guage how the public percieves the 'problem' and co-opt their language. The administration is a master of this. Russert was pretty much of a dick, but at least let La Pierre make his points (more or less), though his media bias was pretty evident to me (clearly not a gun guy). The Adminsitration guy made my skin crawl, he was so smarmy. SOS-DD, more Government, more laws is the answer to any problem BS.
Tom DeLay, OTOH, was quite polished and made his points well. Though I don't like Delay personnally, he stayed on issue, was clear and to the point, no fluster or bluster. The NRA should take lessons, but at least they're in there swinging. I remain puzzled as to how the NRA can be the most powerful lobby on the Hill, yet be so clutzy in the live media. Merde.
