It's a bad idea to recruit anti-choice Dem candidates...it's also an OLD idea.

7. I wasn't saying anything about you, or your posts on this subject.

There was no reference to your arguments intended at all.

I'm sorry if I made it sound like I was saying that about you.

I'm not.

I support equal rights for women. The Right are the enemies of those-essentially everybody on the Left is with you on that.

Here's why I don't understand why there is still outrage over the Heath Mello thing(and ok he and Tim Kaine weren't identical on that).

A) The man is now pro-choice and publicly declared that he would defend choice in office while running;

B) To my knowledge, he was the only person who even ran against the right-wing incumbent in Omaha-it's not as though there was a long-time pro-choice candidate who was shouldered out of the race by Mello; if nobody else even ran, what is there to be outraged about?

C) It was a mayor's race-as far as I know, the mayor of Omaha has little ability to defend OR deny reproductive choice. Am I factually wrong on that point?

The only people we should be fighting on the question of choice are the right. Everybody on the progressive side of the spectrum should get the benefit of the doubt on this issue.

And I agree with you about caucuses needing to be replaced by primaries. Always have.

Will you agree that that change should be solely about what happens in the future?
