The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

If I thought such a thing had a chance in hell of passing his support for a Right to Life constitutional amendment making abortion illegal would be a deal breaker. But if elected president I do think he'd likely continue (or do nothing to get int he way of others) the chipping away at abortion access.

Though his self reversal on the individual mandate does suggest that he has the same chance as McCain: conform to the talking points and move on.

But he is certainly more palatable to me so far than the other major Republican candidate at the moment. But it will be interesting to see how his positions withstand the need to go much further right to get anywhere.
