Someday I too, can retire from work and do a book on being a WAITRESS.

I suspect it has less to do with this or that economic policy and more with
the symbolism of gun ownership.  I heard the nauseating Santorum's
commercials in PA bashing Clinton/Gore gun policy and embracing himself as
the defender of the 2 CA.  It might have worked for those who have the gun
fetish syndrome.

Voting is often not a rational utility maximization choice, but a symbolic
ritual affirming conventional sentiments, similar to professional wrestling
or church attendance.  People who rarely follow religious teachings in
their everyday lives, nonetheless go to church on Sundays.
