Re: Opinion column on the bill from Sports Illustrated
[ QUOTE ]
Not that it means anything, but every response that I saw to his article in the blog was against the ban. I would suspect that these are normal people too, not just 2+2ers. If we can really get the general public against this, things could start to happen in our favor.

It's really a matter of intensity of preference here. Even if 95% of people oppose the ban, the legislation would stay because the vast majority of that 95% wouldn't care enough to rally/lobby/vote against their senator based on the issue. As a result, there's no political incentive to not cater to that 5% (or whatever) that TRULY cares about it and supports the ban.
