I think that the political situation has a great deal to do with Sportsmen's Issues - gun control, development of oil reserves, logging/clear cutting, etc. are all going to be affected by the Presidential election. In just a couple of months, this will all be history anyway, so why put Del through all the work of setting up another section?
Many people are still undecided. My brother, for example, is having a hard time deciding between Bush and Kerry. His agency (US Fish & Wildlife) is having real problems with lack of funding and politics overriding science - all attributable to Bush. But he has a real hard time living with Kerry's flip flops and not knowing where the guy really stands on most issues. All he says he does know is that Kerry is definitely anti-gun.
So I think the debate is healthy (when kept clean) and needed.
