Why aren't Calif. politicians afraid of us like national ones are of the NRA?

[Funtimes]

1. The republicants demanded redistricting and got it. They will likely lose seats for it.

2. Term limits means we have to "re-train" members when they term out. Member turnover is expensive.

3. Gun owners are generally disengaged and unwilling to pay for serious anything, let alone politics.

I wonder how those things will look once the marriage issues are handled by the court and the 'right' side can't go crying about it anymore. I'm thinking more people will be sort of republican then lol.

I believe you would be correct, though I differentiate "right" from "anti-gay", just as much as I differentiate "left" from "anti-gun".

I think we're entering a bit of a seismic shift on politics on those two issues in the next decade. I could wrote a treatise on it (though it's unscientific, I'm not a professor or a statistician).
