You're suggesting that pro-life Ds won't vote for a pro-choice candidate?
Um -- they already vote for pro-choice Ds, don't they? Didn't they vote for Kerry?
As I understand it from talking to folks here, in Texas, by far most pro-life folks *will* vote for a pro-choice person, if they have the other qualifications.
It's a rare bird that makes pro-life a litmus test.
There are enough of us to sink your boat, and Giuliani's.
Gawd, why is this so hard to get Rudy boosters to understand?
Pro-life Catholic Dems and Indies were key components of the Reagan Dems. And Ohio pro-life-Catholic Dems were key swing voters for Bush in Ohio in 2004.
Having a pro-life pubbie is a key draw for getting voters from the other side to come over to the GOP. That is proven.
I can see why so many Rudy boosters believe that Rudy being pro-choice isn't a big deal - they have no understanding of pro-life crossover vote dynamics.
