This thread is a great reminder of the importance of primaries

Absolutely. Beat the hell out of Condi during the primaries if you must. But if she ends up winning then Condi will be the best candidate for most of the folks here.

Even single issue pro-lifers would have to admit that Condi would be better than the Democrat. She would at least have her mostly pro-life base to answer to. The Democrat will also have his/her base to answer to but that mostly pro-abortion base will expect more liberal abortion laws.

In due time, should she run, we will know about Condi.

If she takes a strong pro-life position, she will win.

If she doesn't, she won't.

Many hear may hate that fact, but the only way the GOP wins the presidency is by bringing all the factions together (evangelicals, pro-growthers, moderates, etc.). Bush did that - by campaigning on base issues using moderate language.

Lose the pro-lifers, you have no chance of being elected - period.

It may be hard for some here to accept, but a GOP pro-abortion candidate simply cannot be elected President today (and I'm not talking about someone who merely supports the three exceptions). It may have been possible 20 years ago, but the tide of history is rolling and will not turn back, unless the GOP forfeits the pro-life fight.
