Roe WILL be overturned if we lose the whitehouse. Women will determine the outcome of this election

2. That is the polarizing discussion that Rove wants
but the election may be more about the economy... McCain is hoping to change the subject.

In addition, even if the economy is what the election is about, it still does not negate that Roe WILL be overturned if we lose the White House. There should be no illusion about that

6. Time always marches to the left
Everything thought liberal fifty years ago is mainstream now.
