We've already had a huge Condi thread, but I'm afraid I feel obliged to say again that her announcing in the context of running for the presidency that she is "moderately pro-choice" simply disqualifies her. Period.
It's not my opinion. Running someone who favors abortions would turn off millions of Evangelical, Catholic, Hispanic, and working-class voters who came out for Bush in the last two elections, and also turn off many of the most energetic volunteers. Unless she does a quick repair job, she has just sunk her candidacy.

They're not going to vote Dem, and 89% won't stay home. Those that do will be offset by the surge of moderate black and women voters thrilled to finally have a winner on the presidential ticket
Precisely.
I don't think it's possible she can even get the nomination now.
This Jewish voter would also be turned off by someone who allows abortions. Either innocent life should be protected, or it shouldn't. That about sums it up.
