Lazs, I agree it's too early to tell.
However, I wouldn't be all that surprised if the gun ban plank was actually on it's way out long term (or if it wasn't for that matter). I doubt, even with the media bias and hi profile celeb and political antis that gun control is really a core issue for most Democratic voters -- except those who are pro gun. We'll just have to see. Aside from Feinstein and McCarthy and closer to home Daley and Dick Durbin and Bloomberg in NY I don't think many others care and the downside is clear. What happens after 2008 should tell it.
I will likely be screwed in Illinois regardless, which is pushing to be the most liberal state in the Union with firearm bans at the forefront followed by a bunch of other unfunded, no budget social programs.
All of these mild statements for the current politicians can only help things regardless.
