What makes these Republicans think they can wage a war on Women in the first place?

22. I don't think they planned this, actually.

I think they were baited into it by a conservative minority that is very vocal. The media, which amplifies shit to the Nth degree, picked up on it, and now there's no backing down. Rush and a few other nitwits just made a bad situation worse (or better, from our perspective).

For awhile it was a fun wedge issue for them to distract from a slow but steady upward glide on the economic front, but now I think they've dug the hole just a LEEETLE TEEEEENY WEE BIT too deep, and the ground is damper than they thought it was. So now, they're stuck in the mud, and all they can do is holler like fools and pretend that was their plan all along.

I think they know they're fucked this year.

What's the lesson here ? MA governors shouldn't run for the Presidency? If so, Deval had better do something else before he thinks about trying for it....
