1. How could you make this mistake?

It's not in the Mother Jones story.

"Opposition to the recall has come mostly from one source—the Virginia-based National Rifle Association."

3. How odd.

It must've been in the cut and paste I did this morning -- and been missed by at least one MoJo editor as well as me.

2. how is the recall defense looking?

I see lots of talk but no real fact based predictions. Anyone have real info?

4. Strong.

Pueblo reported many more Democrats than Republicans in the early voting; and "in-state" donations (e.g. ignoring out-of-state money like the NRA or Bloomberg) totaled $1.5 million for the Democrats, versus $147,000 against them. All told it's about $3 million for the Democrats vs. $500,000 for the Republicans per the Denver Post.

5. The huge money apparently did not have the impact on the outcome that was desired.

6. Nice gloat. Another gun enthusiast delights in Democrats losing to Republicans.

Go crawl back under your rock.

7. It was not so much a gloat as it was a statement of fact.

It also was not a statement about partisan politics. The gun control laws passed in Colorago will have little impact on crime. However, the laws did have an impact on the make up of the Colorado legislature.

8. It was a gloat. We both know it.

Again, rock.

9. There was an awful lot of gloating going on

When the magazine ban was passed. Not so much gloating over the result.

[Robb]

10. Please stop gloating about two Democrats losing an election to Republicans.

Thanks.
