I agree with WPTG that calling mainstream conservatives necessary for a Republican victory extremists will not win you needed support for the candidate of your choice, if that is your intention.

I disagree with you, WPTG, that Condi's posistion on abortion as stated so far is at odds with pro-Lifers.

IF she is a strong state's rights proponent (would seem so but further clarification needed), against partial birth, for parental notification, against government funding of abortions, believes abortion shouldn't be encouraged...well, it's certainly an issue worth debate. In essence we'd be on the same side, if not necessarily entirely same personal view.

I think I'm as solidly anti-abortion as anyone, and I could be persuaded to vote for a President Rice. I don't know if her beliefs are necessarily at odds with mine or not... but then again, I'm not an evangelical Christian. My vote isn't the one I'm worried about if she gets the nod.

But I honestly believe that any pro-choice label, be it "mildly" or otherwise, automatically eliminates a huge number of consertives from the playing field in a national election. And I don't think that's a hole she can dig herself out of.
