I think there is indeed a segment of the GOP that would just be thrilled to jettison conservative Christian voters from the party.
I also think, along with this courting of the gays, the GOP will pull its pro-life plank before 2008, if not by 2004.
Won't be on this President's watch. But the RNC may be planning ahead to run another dynamic candidate like Bob Dole!
If the RNC alienates the Christian Conservatives they can expect to be on the outside, (of the White House), lookin' in, for a very, very long time.
