Republican pro-choice Coaltion.

The Voice for Choice in the GOP

October 7, 2003

Arnold Schwarzenegger's victory is a big win for the largest pro-choice advocacy group in the GOP. The Republican Pro-Choice Coalition, sponsor of the successful Women for Arnold campaign in California, said this victory shows the new face of Republican politics - socially moderate, fiscally conservative candidates who win the trust of women.

"We pulled out all the stops in the last five days to ensure that women voters knew they could trust Arnold," said RPCC National Co-Chair Jennifer Blei Stockman. "Our direct mail campaign overcame the last-minute desperate sleaze attack attempting to alienate women and helped to close the long-standing GOP gender gap. Women voters listened when we reinforced Arnold's strong commitment to women's issues, especially the right to reproductive choice. We told our base that they finally had a Republican they could vote for, and they made the difference in this election.

"Even Republican county chairmen wised-up to the idea that this is the new winning strategy for the GOP. Every Republican leader should now accept this simple fact - When women can finally trust a Republican candidate on issues near to their hearts, the Republican wins every time," said Stockman.

RPCC formed Woman for Arnold in early September. The California committee quickly met all of its fund-raising goals and mailed a brochure to targeted Independent and Republican women outlining Arnold Schwarzenegger's strong support of women's issues. Women for Arnold identified and turned out over half-a-million voters in the course of the campaign.

This does not dimish in the least my argument that RFC will use any event to advance their silly claim that the GOP can only win if the pro-life plank is abandoned. Also, am I supposed to be surprised that RFC would like Arnold? Who would you expect them to back? McClintock? Bustamante? Camejo?
