It's funny how when the Democratic party dominated national politics, the Republicans were all about state's rights. As soon as they got their turn at the wheel, though, that core portion of their ideology went by the wayside. Isn't the whole point of integrity to do things you believe in, even when it's not convenient?

Btw Dionysis - not every woman is pro-abortion. |
I think you missed my point - the whole issue of a husband leaving his wife for a younger, more attractive woman plays really badly with Hillary's core group of supporters. When I see the venom with which my Mom and her friends talk about a man they know who did just that, I can't help but see it play out badly for McCain. It's a fundamental fear of most women as they grow older and lose their looks, and I think the fact that he's guilty of it will make him unsupportable for a lot of voters.
