terms of how to put that together to get a good background check and make people that don t have guns shouldn t get them. i think there s an opportunity here, you re seeing from both sides, is drawing a line in the sand. and when you start doing that, the art of the possible becomes less and less. well, that makes perfect sense. i think there s an optics question that has been raised. the president is going to chicago for obvious reasons. absolutely terrible problem with gun violence there and it s a city that he knows very well with. it s a city with strict gun control laws. people on the other side are saying, look, stricter laws don t work. does he have a tough argument there? well, i don t think so. and here s why. we have other states throughout the country that have implemented the stand your ground laws and these are designed to protect homeowners and others that have subjected fear. you can look no further than a trayvon martin and jordan davis in florida. those laws don t

that was mitt romney on wednesday, roblt, if a senior adviser and candidate can t get together on this, what hope do they have on bigger issues? that s a good question. but i don t believe eric was wrong here. i believe he was reaffirming what governor romney s stance when governor romney was the governor of massachusetts and there was a state mandate. so i think what happen was that eric furnish strom came out and said what he said, the conservatives on capitol hill said, wait a minute, we re saying something kmreetdly different. we need to be singing from the same sheet of music, in the process, governor romney you need to change your position, which puts him in a wrong position. do you really think you can sell that? you re splitting hairs. of course. this is inside baseball. at the end of the day governor romney needs consistency and social conservatives to come to him on the polls. if in fact he doesn t have consistency and if in fact the base doesn t come out in november,
