Simon's spokesman Bob Taylor wouldn't say whether the Republican, an abortion opponent, supported the increased access to emergency contraceptives. "There are much more important topics," Taylor said.

A pathetic and evasive response. There isn't a fence-sitter out there who won't notice. This is a professional?

Gophack, I told you that this would happen and that this response won't work. Here is an example of what WILL work:

Note to Gray:
Great way to slow sexually transmitted disease!

Note to Bill:
See above.

Discussing the adverse impacts of abortion as a license to immorality and the impact of that behavior upon THE STATE BUDGET AND PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND ECONOMIC WELL-BEING is not running from the issue and can enlist support from constituencies that Simon needs in order to win. Abortion may not be an objectively central issue, but it clearly will be a central political issue in this campaign. Saying that it isn't important when the entire media machinery will center upon it is stupid and will appear cowardly. Maybe sasquatch should be providing Mr. Russo, et al with some training in how to level a witheringly sarcastic quip.
