Mr. Kasich holds the key to the one glaring hole in his conservative pedigree in his hands. All he has to do is make it clear to gun owners that he won't support new gun control schemes, and he is likely to win back their support. If he doesn't, there will always be that nagging question in the mind of Ohio's gun voters. And keep this in mind - Ohio's gun vote is one of the largest in the country, and was likely the difference between President Bush and President Gore or President Kerry.
