My previous post on opportunities for Republicans (I recently saw the abbreviation ‘Pubs, not bad) to take away a traditional Democratic demographic (that would be a Dem demo) can work the other way, too. I suspect we will begin to see more pro-life Dems this year.
This George Will article mentions that Bob Casey, the current Democratic front-runner for the Senate seat in PA is pro-life. Did you know that liberal Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is pro-life (and Mormon) as well? And the ever-triangulating Hillary is trying to have it both ways.
Evangelicals (and security moms) are the main reason that Republicans keep winning. By targeting these folks with pro-life candidates, Dems tempt a voter that ‘Pubs take for granted. The goal has less to do with actually winning these folks over — at the end of the day, most simply won’t buy that Dems are tolerant of religion — and more to do with forcing the ‘Pubs to expend resources defending their turf.
Ain’t politics fun?
