This idea that O could have done more to win GOP votes on gun control is hard to see. Pro-Toomey/Manchin Repubs glad he was on sidelines
@robertcostaNRO Good point on Manchin-Toomey. In fact part of prob is that it helps Pryor/Begich, etc to say they opposed prez on this.

@DavidMDrucker@robertcostaNRO only if you concede up front that a D can't make case for bkgrnd checks while opposing assault ban -
@ThePlumLineGS@robertcostanro Of course you can make duel case, it's about trust on the issue overall & politics in particular states. -
@DavidMDrucker@robertcostanro yeah I agree it probably helps reinforce overall sense that culturally they are with the voters -
@ThePlumLineGS@robertcostanro Future Begich/Pryor/Baucus campaigns ad: "...& he stood up to Obama on guns..." -
@DavidMDrucker@robertcostanro yeah, def. All I'm saying is they could've also made case successfully for bkgrnd check by using AWB as cover -
@ThePlumLineGS Also, I think they moved too fast. I'm *fast* becoming a believer in moving slow & taking time to sell bills. -
@DavidMDrucker that sounds way more reasonable than the "he didn't move fast enough" criticism
