(10,164 posts)Of course, "liberal" Oregon is actually pretty purple, although I'm confident we'll go for the Democrat candidate next November. But we're also a Western state, and that means even a big chunk of the liberal population are gun owners. An aggressive gun control platform would absolutely send us to the redder end of the purple spectrum.

Talk about it; it can't be the focus.
I want a Dem to win more than I want to be righteous.
