Gun rights in Ohio, Kasich and the democrats

Michelle Malkin has an interesting story on the efforts of democrats to acquire the names of people who have concealed carry permits. Apparently there is a naked appeal to NRA members, since the NRA turned turncoat and endorsed Strickland. Kasich needs to get out there. We've heard almost nothing from him. Lots of stuff floating around, including an idea to cut the income tax in Ohio, which most people view, at this time, as devastating to our staggering economy and schools. Right now, Strickland has the upper hand:

On the contrary, the Democraps want to troll for votes among CHL holders because the NRA has endorsed Ted Strickland in the governor’s race. They’re trying to play right to the gun community in that race and hoping to make those same voters forget that their Senate candidate, Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, is a rabid anti-gun zealot. They also hope to keep control of the Ohio House by any means they can find, since they want to control the Ohio Apportionment Board that will draw the new congressional and legislative districts once the census data is released to the states.
John Kasich, the GOP candidate for governor, has an uphill battle to win the gun rights vote this year because the voted for Clinton’s Assault Weapons Ban and many will never forgive him for that vote. The Democraps are trying to use the gun issue to their advantage since their candidate for governor already has the NRA endorsement and their candidate for attorney general, Richard Cordray, will surely get the NRA’s backing. They’re using the Rahm Emanuel playbook from 2006 to try to make their candidates look okay on gun issues. So far they appear to be succeeding.
Ugh. This mess makes you sick.

  1. This whole NRA thing is so confusing to me. I just don't understand why the NRA is endorsing Strickland, who has been inconsistent on guns and who has a running mate who is anti-gun. Hopefully voters will see past the passive-aggressive endorsement.
