Robert Novak on Barack Obama in New Hampshire:
"Obamamania" reigns supreme -- generating enthusiasm not seen since the 1968 campaign of Robert F. Kennedy. He attracts new voters and generates support across ideological and party lines. In truth, he worries Republicans sick, but for now, he threatens the long, slowly built Clinton campaign.
Novak also reports that Romney is making a last-minute surge.

Dale, are you trying to convert us all to atheism? Wouyld you have us burn all religious books (the Talmud, Bible, Koran, et al)?
Robert W: I am at a complete loss. To what statement of mine are you referring?
Robert,
Thanks for the clarification. I'm really not up on gun jargon or rights issues. I don't own a gun and probably never will, and I don't know much about them.
Robert,
Thanks. I believe that is the crazy NRA position. Who needs a military when the Constitution grants us the right to own our own nuclear powered missiles?
That, DeeAnn, is why I don't trust Romney as far as I can throw him. He knows how crazy the NRA is, and he's willing to throw all of the sensible positions that he took as the governor of MA to win the GOP nomination.
I didn't say that the Constitution protected hunters. I said that the NRA plays on the fears of hunters to get money from them.
The Secret Service reportedly has almost as many agents on Obama as they do on the President himself.
Charismatic progressive leaders tend to get shot and killed in ways that are never fully explained.
Robert W:
You are incorrect about the illegality of fully-automatic weapons. These weapons are classified as Class III, requiring only a special permit to own, dispensed from ones local sheriff. Ownership of such weapons, (the H&K MP5, for example), is completely legal for private citizens.
Again, ownership of such is under the complete jurisdiction of county sheriffs, not "The Feds".
The 1993 "assault weapons ban" largely focused on Colt AR-15s with "three points" against them. The three points were, a pistol grip, flash supressor and I forget the third one. If a rifle had two out of three, is was okay to sell. If it had three out of three, is was defined as an "assault weapon" under Clinton.
High capacity magazines, i.e. the ability to hold more than 10 rounds, also fell under the Clinton ban. As a result, is was not uncommon for a $30, 13-round magazine for a Glock (.40cal) to sell for upwards of $125.
The ban on high-cap magazines was only for their manufacture, not their sale. Of course, now that the ban is no longer, high-cap magazines are back to their normal market price. As are 3-point AR-15s
(and other SKS type rifles).
