How the NRA gets out the vote (and pointing out that it's the same way unions do it and union members aren't dumb) is TOTALLY RELEVANT.

Being pro gun is going to be closer to a tree falling in the woods with nobody to hear it in 2004 (cause Iraq/fear and the economy are going to be the issues people vote on) UNLESS the NRA gets involved and stirs up its members and spends money to elect one of the two candidates.

They're never going to spend money to help Dean over Bush, and, at best, they'll sit out if it were dean. And if they sit out, guns won't be that big of an issue. I can't think of where they've ever been an issue unless the NRA makes them an issue.

I saw a list of the 20 most important issues to voters. The ranged from the economy to gay rights. I didn't see gun rights anywhere on the list.
