"The GOP may be wobbly and stupid, but they aren't so stupid as to throw away the White House to appease a tiny minority of people who would never vote GOP anyway."

Only a tiny minority wanted campaign finance reform.
They will do what they think is politically expedient to maintain power. Let the media start banging on this drum again and they'll give it up like prom queens. Again.

The climate is different now. CCW laws have really changed a lot of attitudes about gun rights. There's not the ban mentality that we had in the clinton years.

I think the media would even get backlashed against if they went anti-gun at this point.

Exactly. And it will be political suicide to renew the AW ban. It GWB signs the AW extension IN ANY FORM, he WILL NOT be re-elected, and he knows it.
