No way, I respectfully disagree and think you are looking through your own prism. I realize that abortion is a big issue for you and your friends but there's no way Roe was a big deal in that election for most of the country during that election. Ford lost because of Watergate (which we both agree), for pardoning Nixon and for running after he promissed not to run. Abortion was not a big issue in that election even though it may have been a big issue for you.

Me and my friends? I thought you and I were having a discussion?

This is a an approach which appealed to the middle and after 8 years of Clinton follies the conservatives were willing to accept it. I wonder if they'd accept that now.

No, because it was a principled stand based on W's beliefs. He was credible when he talked about it. Romney's not credible considering his record. I believe McCain would wilt under scrutiny just like he did in South Carolina in 2000. Guiliani - to his credit - knows he's not credible but he hasn't even tried to build a bridge - he's burnt the bridge and mined the bridge heads.

Please don't characterize me by other's posts.

Yes we were and I'd like to consider you a friend too since your on FreeRepublic. I'd assumed you have other friends who believe as you do too.
