What facts? Wet your finger and feel which way the wind blows is being factually based?
"Ways of winning"?? Man, ANYONE can win if they compromise enough. Winning isn't the issue for some of us!!! It's winning while being right!

I didn't get the impression that anyone was talking about a choice between a candidate who is TOTALLY left EXCEPT for a pro-life stand and a candidate who is totally right EXCEPT for a pro-choice stand.

I think what some are saying is that given a RANGE of choices between Repubs who are pro-choice but otherwise superb and Repubs who are pro-life but maybe not so "broadly supported" some of us would vote for the latter.(GASP! WHEEZE! THE HORRORS!!)

Incidentally, does principle even MATTER anymore?? All I hear about are "ways to win". And please don't trot out the tired logic of "accommodating" to win so you can slooooooooowly implement your "real" agenda. That is just contemporary spin on an old concept--COMPROMISE. As another has pointed out earlier in the thread, to some of us, differing on abortion is not like differing on the level of tax cuts, it's the difference between wickedness and righteousness.

How many decades has this losing battle been going on? ROE Vs Wade was soooo long ago, I forgot.
