Reply #20: The GUN issue cost us the state of West Virginia.

It's no longer Democrat. How much have we lost (and how much will we lose in the future - Bob Byrd?, Jay Rockefeller?) because of that one issue and that one state?

Prior to the 2000 election, I took part in a focus group which viewed ads and gave opinions. The company conducting the "market research" did not say so, but it was obviosuly paid for by the NRA .
It was 2 hours long and paid $50. I made patterns with the check boxes on my answer sheet so my participation was worthless to them, but I still got my money.

The amount of NRA TV and billboard advertising was incredible that year! It didn't turn Pennsylvania but it did turn West Virginia.

We used to be able to count on West Virginia. Now we can still count on them, but unfortunately to vote Repug.
