And those pro-life voters will be so happy with a President Hildabeast, Empty Suit, or Breck Girl ... man, it feels so good to teach that 'Johnny-come-lately-on-our-one-and-only-issue' Romney a lesson, doesn't it ... /s
Here is the real issue -democrats - at least those in the south - have picked up on this. Heath Shuler won convincingly in North Carolina as a pro-life, democrat. There are other of these “blue dog” democrats in the south. If the dems figure out that they can have their big-government wishes by simply expunging the pro-choice dogma of their party, Republicanism as we know it is dead. Many social conservatives, especially those from the historically democratic south, are not dogmatic on fiscal conservatism. They vote pro-life.
In fact, Obama has tapped into this already. I know of several younger social conservatives who are supporting him, as they want to believe he is not truly pro-choice. If Bob Casey was on the ticket this year against Romney or Guiliani, he would win the election in a landslide.
Republicans need to keep the coalition together, fiscal, foreign policy and social conservatives, in order to win national elections. If any one of these were to bolt the party in droves, the dems have won.
