Picking Paul Ryan<\/a> looks to have been a good move for\u00a0Mitt Romney<\/a> as evidenced by the latest polls<\/a>\u00a0in battleground states.<\/p>\n

The antis still aren’t attacking Ryan, but the Brady’s are hoping their mouthpiece Jim Lehrer will ask the candidates questions<\/a> during the first presidential debate on October 3:<\/p>\n

“In a petition launched Monday, the gun control group says Lehrer should ask President Barack Obama<\/a> and Republican presumptive presidential nominee Mitt Romney about their plans for preventing gun deaths and injuries. … Brady Campaign<\/a> President Dan Gross said the petition<\/a> is important because there is “a dramatic disconnect” between what the American public wants and what elected officials are doing about it. “Our goal with this letter campaign is to lead the American people in closing this disconnect and in holding elected officials accountable,” …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The only disconnect is between Dan and reality. \u00a0What he refuses to accept is that the American people have<\/span> been holding elected officials accountable by supporting pro-gun candidates. \u00a0Even if Lehrer does ask about guns what makes Dan think the answers they give will be any different than the ones both camps have been giving for months?<\/p>\n
