The MSM is preparing the turf for the dems -- not for us. The more dandruff the MSM can raise - the more angst they can create for conservatives, the more likely we get defeated. You enter the stadium on your terms. We are a majority, but we still have a simple problem. Not all the people that make up that majority think like we do. We must deal with that.

The golden rule -- It is necessary to build a majority coalition on every single issue before taking to the field for battle. You must keep that majority coalition strong throughout the battle. We have not yet built the majority coalition, nor do we have a winning strategy -- To do less will ultimately defeat you.

I understand what you're saying about building a majority coalition and about past failures to frontally assault Roe v. Wade. But man, you don't seem to get the fact that the rules have changed! We won, they lost. Social conservatives were a ferocious and very visible part of that victory and everybody knows it. Several Democrat Senators from conservative states will HAVE to vote for a reasonable SCOTUS nominee if that nominee is given a straight up or down vote on the Senate floor - especially if that nominee is someone like Miguel Estrada.

The MSM is severely weakened. The DNC is severly weakened. The American people have given a strong endorsement of conservative, traditional values. To put Specter in control of the Judiciary Committee in light of all of that is crazy!
