"Actually Louisiana is not what most think in terms of religon. 90% of the New Orelans area is Catholic, 90% of the rest of the state is Baptist, the true bible belt."

With a 90% Catholic in New Orleans and the rest of the state
90% Baptist one would think that Terrell would win 90% of the vote.

We pro-life people are doing something very wrong. Does any one have a clue as to what it is? Does any one have a clue as to how we can do better?

Internal GOP polls show us winning by 2 points and that was 24 hours BEFORE Bush got there. There is a clear trend that has developed on 3 fronts... a) the liberal media's polls are wrong because they are biased and unrepresentative of non-urban sprawls and b) since 2000 we have been working very hard on up-dated state voter registrars via web-based technology and keeping our people on the ground moving ALL the time. c) the rats are quickly losing grip on the black vote (at least Donna Brazille is honest about one thing).

I called Colorado by 8 points for Allard and I'm calling Lousiana by 4 for Suzie - BUT YOU LOUISIANA FOLKS NEED TO STAY MAD AND VOTE! In the words of our beloved Hugh Hewitt, "DON'T GET MAD - GET THE SENATE!!!"",

I may not have everything, but I know part of the answer. Pro-lifers are perceived not so much against abortion as against sex. Your only solution seems to be abstinence. That may energize some, but where you need a majority it is a guaranteed loser. Stop demonizing sex or face irrelevancy.

An unwanted pregnancy is one of life's most challenging circumstances. Putting the baby up for adoption sounds simple but goes against one of our most primitive urges. Work to reduce unwanted pregnancies and demand for abortion will fade. But don't do it by demonizing sex.

The pro-life position that is strongest is on late term abortions, but everyone knows that is just a "foot-in-the-door" interim position leading to a total ban. The question you want to ask is, "Do I want to ban abortion or eliminate it?" The two are not the same.
