Name me 3 pro Abortion Republicans who have won elections in the last 6 years.

Criste in NJ...nope Pro life. Brown in Mass-nope pro Life. McDonnell in VA...nope Pro life.

The GOP wins elections when it trys standing for things, not trying to be Dem Lite ala McCain 2008.

Yes, and I live in Virginia and McDonnel did EXACTLY what Barbour is arguing for...McDonnel campaigned almost exclusively on fiscal issues, not on social issues.

So did Christie.

So did Brown.

Barbour is not saying the GOP should run pro-abortion candidates. He is saying the election message in 2010 should be about the economy. Unless you want to lose. Then make it about something the electorate does not currently prioritize as the number one issue.

Sheeesh.

Neither Christie nor Brown are pro-life. You’re mistaken.
