All the Issues

The Obama veep discussion yesterday on This Week (via Newsbusters):

COKIE ROBERTS: I don't think that it's good for the Democratic Party to have two liberal Senators from states that are going to go Democratic anyway. I mean, he needs a Bible-thumping, gun-owning, white guy from a swing state. I mean, maybe that's who the party should have nominated.

SAM DONALDSON: You mean, in other words, somebody who disagrees with him on all the issues.

Something makes me think that when Donaldson uses the phrase "all the issues" to describe God, guns, and race, he really means 'all the Republican issues.' After all, for Obama those issues are mere distractions, though the candidate's 'disagreement' with gun-ownership will come as news to Montana's Sportsmen for Obama, a group currently being touted on the front page of the Obama website.
