Don't bother knocking on Governor Freudenthal's door today; he's not home. He is, in fact, on a road trip to Pennsylvania stumping for Barack Obama and clarifying our candidate's position on gun control. Barack got off on the wrong foot with the good people of PA earlier this year with his "clinging to religion and guns" comment. Enter Governor Dave; a gun rights advocate and NRA endorsee. He is making stops around the state promoting the fact that Barack has a good stance on gun ownership. "He's in the right place with it," Freudenthal said of Obama's position on gun ownership. "He understands it as a right. Remember, rights are not unlimited. They come with certain responsibilities." Obama's website outlines his positions for both the urban setting and for sportsmen. The NRA has given their stamp of approval to McCain, but Governor Freudenthal feels they are mistaken in their perception of Obama.
Taking the time to promote Obama was quite a grand thing for Governor Freudenthal to do. Pennsylvania is an important swing state. To see that an NRA endorsed, wild west, gun-toting Governor from Wyoming is A-O.K. with Obama has to be impressive for at least a few Pennsylvanians. When every vote counts, taking the leave-no-stone-unturned approach is prudent.
