You are living in your own head, Palin is a superstar to the prolife movement. Those endorsements weren’t polite “we endorse the ticket” pronouncements, the pro life movement and those spokespeople are ecstatic over Governor Palin.

No, I am not. I am still in communication regionally in Pro-Life matters, in a Conservative, Evangelical Protestant based inter-organizational way, and fairly aware of norms in other regional areas by way of friendships maintained from when I could be more active...

The communications I receive suggest that leadership, desperate to have a say in the election, is a different thing than the grassroots, as is obvious in this election. Evangelical support was poor, to say the least. "Back-channel" excitement was nonexistent. Perhaps there was more support in more moderate circles, that could be, but I am not simply "living in my own head".

It is through those same avenues that I develop my opinion about the actual Pro-Life movement and about SP. Those I know personally, within my various spheres of community will not back up on the issue of Constitutional protection of Life, and will not support SP because of it. Their opinion is the aggregated opinion of millions.

Constitutional Protection of Life is the official stance of the Pro-Life movement, it is the official stance of the Republican Party, and it should be supported by Conservatives.

I would submit to you that this is the same "superstar" appeal that was supposed to bring a Fred Thompson administration- "Electability" by virtue of fame. But fame is fleeting. It is the record that stands.

If you would care to discuss the record, forge ahead. Otherwise, have a nice day.

Yeah the world famous Governor Palin that most of America outside of Alaska and the prolife movement first heard about 94 days ago.

Good luck with your efforts whatever they are, I’m still not clear on that, when you disagree with the prolife movement then you are on your own.
