>>I am sure her pro-life stance bothers you as it will many others but at least in fairness she lives her beliefs, as witnessed by her most recent child's birth, and I find people who do that actually tend to be less hell-bent on imposing their beliefs on others. She also short-circuited an attempt to deny gay couples partnership rights. Doesn't seem like a zealot, though she is undoubtedly a social conservative.

I guess I'm not surprised and certainly disagree with her on that, but I can live with it, as long as it never becomes policy. I guess my concern would be is it one of her core issues - she seems pretty focused on management process rather than imposing a blueprint for social issues.
I figure finding a candidate I agree with on taxes, spending, national defense, gay rights and libertarian issues, health care etc is not very likely, so I'll pick my battles <s>

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
