The comments below the article are quite interesting.

While I think the issue at the time was a lot less open and shut than was portrayed by the media, it seems clear that the whole Schiavo issue was a PR and public perception disaster for conservatism and (especially) the GOP.

Medical and family decisions were being made by politicians and legislatures, violating existing rules as needed to achieve a desired result.

Isn’t the attempt to change the rules in the middle of the game, and even after the game was over, exactly what we rightly criticized about Democrat behavior in the 2000 election?

Greeeatt.

Obama and the other rats are probably salivating over this. If this becomes a big issue like last time he wins 40+ states and the rats will most certainly will end up with more than a filibuster proof majority.
