Perhaps. My assessment of the current political climate is that this would not be feasible, and anyone suggesting it would be demonized not just "by the press" but in the minds of too many actual voters to ever get elected to anything.
Like I said, I could be wrong and you could be right about this political reality. I reject the idea, though, that my above assessment, however misguided it may be, somehow makes me "not pro-life".
However, as I said, his position is next to useless for the pro-life cause.
This is a much weaker statement, and perhaps on balance it is essentially true. A Governor Simon from 2002-2006 likely would not make much headway for the pro-life movement. I suppose I agree.
Call me crazy but I still prefer him to Mr. Davis though :)
If a single-issue pro-lifer is planning on voting for him out of a belief that he will actively fight to reduce abortions or lead cultural change, then they need to think long and hard.
Agreed. Single-issue pro-lifer voters have a long and frustrating road ahead of them in general, of course, no matter what the race or candidates.
Would Simon be marginally better than Davis? Of course.
Hallelujah, we agree ;)
Despite the fact that he could, if he so chose. Sad.

Unmistakably true, so long as their standards are so low.
