Remember the Supremes

When Obama's giving his "more of the same" laundry list to argue that McCain will just continue Bush's policies--as he did in the interview with KO tonight--he should remember to say "more of the same kind of nominees to the Supreme Court." McCain has openly proclaimed this, yet for some reason Obama rarely mentions it. Yet, talk about energizing your base!

Obama's record on gun control is dismal if you happen to be one of the hundreds of thousands of people who carry a firearm in the line of duty and understand that the Supreme Court has stated and reaffirmed that YOU are responsible for protecting yourself, your family and your home from a violent attack.

I know how Obama can relate to the hunting crowd
