The anti-gunners have officially endorsed Dan Onorato for governor in Pennsylvania. But remember, he’s not really anti-gun!
Sebastian says they would be fools not to endorse him. However, I disagree and believe that they are fools to do so. The other side has only dabbled in the endorsement game before, and this will be a huge loss to them. They won’t be able to turn out votes on the issue, and if the current polls that run near or over a double digit lead for his opponent hold true in a couple of weeks, it will just be an embarrassment for everyone who got on board.
Onorato has decided to run to the extremes on the issues in these last few days. He has officially said he would veto Castle Doctrine if elected, and he does not support any expansion of the right to defend your own life or that of your family on your own property.
I agree with you on this one, Bitter. It’s going to be an embarrassment for the anti-gun groups to support a candidate when they can’t reliably turn out a voting block which supports their issue. And it’s not only an embarrassment, it also slowly kills their political credibility. But then again, who are we to stop them from destroying themselves?
I’m not going to stop them, but I’ll also enjoy pointing out their mistakes after they make them. :)
It’s looking like they’re going to get nailed for the Quinn endorsement in IL as well.
