| 27. Her mindset is too narrow. |

This woman sounds like a classic case study in how the Rethuglicans use wedge issues to siphon off centrist voters. Gay rights and affirmative action are important, but like abortion they are hot button issues based more on emotion rather than analysis.
Get her out of the 'social liberalism' box and start talking about "Clear Skies" and "Healthy Forests" and "Leave No Child Behind".
Hey, at least she seems like she's willing to listen. That's a good place to start. Lucky you.

Maybe she'll come around by exposing herself more to the DNC line. |
