Obama will win, and here's how I know
I visit a few hunting forums, this one is dominated by guys like me from out west. This post should have been in the political area, but got put in big game hunting. Take a minute to see how the hunting public is reacting to Obama. Very interesting read. I have never seen this kind of reaciton on a hunting site before. It's 50/50, and lots of these guys tend to be die hard republicans. The propoganda aint working and the Barrack's gonna steal your gun mantra is not sticking either. Granted, only 10% of the population hunt, but if we can split this vote, I think its indicative of where we are going.

Please, don't post any anti-hunting stuff there. Taking these voters is what is going to enable Barrack to win New Mexico and Colorado and help us sweep a ton of Senate seats.

1. A big surprise
Thanks for posting this. I'd never have thought that Obama would have any support among hunters. Maybe that's just a dumb bias on my part. But this is a real surprise, and a very pleasant one.
And it's only June. Gonna be fun to see what happens.
Welcome to DU, WindRiverMan. You're off to a grand start, I'd say ....................

6. me either Skittles,
We'll take the votes though.
I'm a Vet who does not own any guns and I bet that puts me in the minority but I don't care cause I seen what guns can do in the wrong hands under the wrong circumstances for the wrong reasons. I am all for gun owner rights, I just don't want any myself.

4. I think this is right- my brother in law is a hunter ...
and he has NEVER, EVER said he would vote for a Democrat...until this year. He told my sister he is voting for Obama. We thought hell had frozen over or something.

5. Welcome to DU! And thanks for sharing the good news
We Democrats need all the votes we can get.
Yeah, given that the Obamaites in their Hate and rage against the supporters of the worthier Democrat candidate, the Democrats are going to need all the votes they can get, because the Obamaites caused them to lose quite a few.

7. welcome windriverman...and it may surprise you that every now and then a gun control poll gets thrown up here at DU and gun rights fair far better than one would think they would. lots of good dems in my family who grew up on working ranches w guns and rifles, and have beloved gun collections handed down through the generations.
And then we get a nice little half-bouncy:

9. That is a good sign.
I had a conversation with a guy a couple weeks ago about the election and this was one of his concerns about voting for Obama. I told I was defenitely voting for Obama and I was a gun owner(I own several). I told him the "Democrats are gunna tak yer guns" was a big bullshit story to scare gun owners from voting for Obama.

Even if the above is true, it is a mixed blessing for the little goons. There is a flip side to this coin. I'd say about nine of the hardcore moonbats I know have said there is no way on Ghia's Green Earth they will vote for B. Hussein Obama.
One set of them is my daughter-in-law's parents. They are a little older than me - solid lifelong totally in the can democrats who have voted every time the polls have opened since the mid-1960s. I have no idea if they are racist people or not. Being hardcore democrats, I assume they are.

Because he's "too conservative", right?
