===Strategy===

The campaign of Sen. [[Gary Hart]] in 1984 was deemed by Democratic strategists to have failed due to lack of appeal among "the Bubba vote." The "Bubba vote" was defined as "guys with a gun rack in the pick-up truck." In 1992 Bill Clinton was molded to appeal to the "Bubba vote," and even garnered the nickname "Bubba Clinton" among some supporters.  The Clinton's however attempted several measures aimed at [[Second Amendment]] rights, such as background checks, child safety locks etc. Many communist supporters of the Clintons felt gun  restrictions did not go far enough, and [[Al Gore]] promised to finish the job.  The [[National Rifle Association]], more than any other organized group, defeated Al Gore in 2000. [[John Kerry]], a gun-toting Ivy League rich kid and alleged war hero hardly fit the bill. By 2008, no "Bubbas" even entered the Democratic field. Beto was an attempt to re-create the myth of a Democrat "Bubba."
