Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Would you want the Dem candidate for president to be pro-gun control if it costs them the election? [View all]Lurks Often
(5,455 posts)7. Ann Richards views on CCW probably cost her the 1994 Governor's election
which started George W Bush on the path to the White House.
One also has to wonder if Gore's gun control views cost him his home state of Tennessee in the 2000 election. For that matter, did Gore's views on gun control cost him any of the following states: NH, MO, OH or NV (all of which were decided with less then a 5% margin)?
If Gore had won in just ONE of those states, he would have won the Presidency regardless of what happened in FL.

This is a personal attack based on pure anti-intellectualism, plain and simple.
