You are correct.

If it's Condi vs. HRC, I imagine there will be enough Republicans who will sulk and sit on their hands and let HRC win. And I will spend four years blaming them for getting that pro-abortion witch into power.

With all due respect, you will have no one ot blame but the candidate who lost. People are allowed to make up their own minds and vote or not vote for who they please.

I don't get the Condi hate from some of the Ultras.

She's with the Pro-Life community on MOST of the points.

1. Against Federal Funding, saying that pro-life people shouldn't have to fund something they are morally opposed to.

2. For parental notification.

3. With Bush on a ban on Partial Birth.

Folks, this woman is a Second Amendment absolutist. What kind of judges do you think she will appoint?

Roe v. Wade allowed everything to which Rice is opposed. The only thing I see her opposing is a Human Life Amendment itself. Then again, that was never a serious attempt at an amendment, anyway. Reagan knew that it would never pass the Democratic Senate.

This stance is defensible in a nomination fight. She's also laying this out NOW so it can be developed as a coherent approach to the Life issue as time goes by. She clearly wants to align herself with the President as closely as possible without trying to cynically flip flop from her 1999 position of being "mildly" pro-choice.

Now compare her to Hillary. Hillary is married to Roe. Period. Hillary has Emily's list written all over her.

Be Seeing You,

It doesn't work that way.

There are people who don't think of themselves as political. They get up and vote when someone shows up supporting their one or two big issues. Such people are usually deeply moral a-political Christians. Such people very often vote for Republicans. Republicans are more likely to say something that motivates them. When a liberal Republican comes along, it's not that they pout and sit on their hands, they simply haven't heard anyone say anything that will drive them to the polls.

Not all voters are political hacks like us, thinking in terms of long-term strategy. They see the world in a much more cut and dry way. Too bad, but that's the way it is.

I've seen and heard this hundreds of times in dozens of focus groups over the years.

As opposed to the libertarian types who dream that the issue that has made Republicans the majority party in this country will just dance away. Sorry, guy, Jerry Ford's day is OVER.
