I have always liked him anyway, my fear is he won't get elected simply because of the party he belongs to and the association it has to Bush. I have noticed the elections tend to swing one way, then the other. And it's time for a change. I hate that people will vote by party instead of looking at the actual person that is running.

I also agree with him on some forms of gun control. I have never been opposed to background checks or even waiting periods for that matter. I would almost accept proficiency qualifications before being able to purchase one. I have seen too many people with guns in their hands that really shouldn't have them. Scares the crap out of me sometimes. I have never needed a gun so badly that I couldn't wait a week to get it, and the background check never bothered me because I don't have anything to hide. And I wouldn't have a problem taking a 10 or 20 question firearms safety test either. I really wish if they were going to have a waiting period though they would put it to good use and actually check up on the person trying to buy the gun. Otherwise it seems kind of pointless to me.

I do know though that once you crack that door someone will try to shove it the rest of the way open. Sort of like trying to buy a handgun in MI, what a pain that is. I'm surprised I don't need a note from my mom and am not required to inform all my neighbors I purchased a handgun.
