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.

If that is true of the Presidency, then it stands to reason that it is even more true of a Primary. For that reason, I'm not really concerned. Condi will temper her views (or provide some "clarification") and win the primary. Or she won't and lose.
