. . . . . the repubican nomination.
Choice resonates most strongly with women. Yes, men have stances too, but choice is a women's issue. Smegmrick is strongly in a single place with no room to equivocate. As the majority of women favor choice, no matter their party, he's not scoring any mainstream points. He appeals only to the religiously insane.
On birth control, we all know that the vast majority of Catholic women (for example) not only favor birth control in the abstract, they actually practice it. They practice it, in actuality, in concert with the man or men in their lives. Alternatively, there is the mirror image, with the man practicing it for their mutual benefit.
In total, the overwhelming majority of Americans, religious or not, practice birth control. A candidate who says he would make it as illegal as he is able can not win the presidency.

(67,796 posts)They are the hard core true believers. They are exactly who Smegmatic FoamBoy appeals to. It is very likely that every voter who would vote for him in a general election against Obama has already voted for him in the primaries. Unless the raw number of voters who voted for him yesterday is enough to beat Obama (hint: it is NOT EVEN CLOSE), he can not win.
