Did you know that in 1998 -- the worst year ever for Republicans in California, that Lungren the loser GAINED votes because of his prolife stance?
That is according to the LA TIMES Exit Poll the next morning.
The simple fact is that of the people who vote based upon a candidate's abortion stance, more are prolife than pro abortion. In Lungren's case it was 13% of the voters who voted because of abortion picked him over 12% for Davis.
Also note that many prolifers stay home until they see someone they can really get excited about. Turnout affects elections more than people really appreciate.
Well ... I'm just concerned. I think his pro-life stance has now been recognized and understood. Now I believe since he has made his pro-life position clear he should more emphazise the other very important issues. Bottomline ... and trust me I DON'T want to be right about it, but bottomline ... if he is TOO pro-life he will NOT win the swing votes IMHO.
