They're lying, voters didn't vote on gun issues. Gun owners certainly didn't. Democrat Party votes came from DuPage and downstate Republicans who are fed up with corrupt Republicans and the state budget crisis. I can't say I blame them, but it's just replacing Republican corruption with Democrat corruption.
The Illinois Republican Party has to purge itself of corrupt, old people and reinvent itself. The Democrats will screw up the economy and raise taxes, the Republicans will have a good '06 ticket. Blagojevich has already said he's going to try and wage the IL minimum wage by $1 over the national rate. Right in a the middle of a recession. So now you'll have some minorities making $1 more an hour and other minorities getting pink slips.
As far as gun control, Blagojevich ran an almost pro-gun campaign and I'm curious to see whether he will risk alienating downstate, rural and DuPage voters by pushing too much gun control.
