Having survived Hillary Clinton's "kitchen sink'' attack strategy, Barack Obama may think there's not much left in the kitchen for Republicans to throw at him except a few pots and pans. As he turns his attention to the general election, Obama has invited McCain to join him in debating "big issues'' — national security, health care, the economy — instead of resorting to the old politics of personal attacks and negative ads. He is naive if he thinks McCain is going to allow him to set the rules of the game.
The Republicans — and I'm not talking about the nuts in the fruitcake fringe of the GOP — are going to pick up where Hillary Clinton left off in defining Obama as an elitist who doesn't understand the concerns and values of those gun-owning, church-going Americans he described as "bitter.'' They're not going to let voters forget about his association with Bill Ayers, a leftist radical from the '60s, or the incendiary sermons of his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. And they will add something new to this mix — Obama's record on abortion.
Abortion wasn't an issue in the Democratic primary campaign where only prochoice candidates need apply. However, Republicans are never ones to leave a wedge issue unused, and they're not about to give Obama a pass on abortion. Unlike McCain, a staunch prolifer, as abortion opponents call themselves, Obama's record on abortion is "extreme,'' according to conservative pundits and bloggers.
They point out that Obama not only voted against a ban on so-called partial-birth abortion, a procedure the late Democratic Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York once called "too close to infanticide,'' but opposed a bill to protect the life of an infant who survived a late-term abortion.
