This thread is a great reminder of the importance of primaries, and the need for the party to stay the hell out of them and let the voters decide.
If some of the people on this thread are our "friends", the Stupid Party is in deeper trouble than I previously thought.
Absolutely. Beat the hell out of Condi during the primaries if you must. But if she ends up winning then Condi will be the best candidate for most of the folks here.
Even single issue pro-lifers would have to admit that Condi would be better than the Democrat. She would at least have her mostly pro-life base to answer to. The Democrat will also have his/her base to answer to but that mostly pro-abortion base will expect more liberal abortion laws.
Exactly. I am by no means foolish enough to think that my own opinion is that important. But even Hillary and the New York Times understand, on the evidence of the last election, that abortion is now a political loser.
If Condi runs on a "mild pro-choice" platform against Hillary, all of the pro-abortionists, the feminists, and the leftists will vote for hillary anyway. So her pro-choice stance will do her very little good among the pro-abortion voters. But she WILL lose millions of pro-life, social conservative voters.
