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.

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.

Is the public’s perception of the issue fair and accurate? Probably not, but in elections perception creates reality.
