When will pundits realize that public opinion itself is basically irrevelant to legislators- what matters is MOBILIZED public opinion.
@JeffSmithMO what matters in mobilized public opinion on one day every two years.

@eyokley yes, but also every day in b/w. When gun safety advocates swamp Congress w/ 2 yrs of mail/calls/small donations, things may change. -
@JeffSmithMO I agree. Hundreds of msgs about an issue makes legislators pay attention. Or at least it should.@eyokley -
@tishaura@jeffsmithmo your last caveat is the important one. -

@JeffSmithMO@tishaura fascinating. Would love to take a look. -
@eyokley will send to you for thoughts/feedback before I send to Political Research Quarterly, cool?
