this all started with a policy blunder by the white house in formulating new regulations on birth control. they didn't draw the religious exemption broadly enough.
the republican's correctly saw a wedge issue that could drive their base to the polls. it's government interference in religious freedom.
yet regardless of where you stand on the substance there's just no denying that republicans have lost the pr battle. it's stopped being about about religious liberty and started being about women's access to contraception. romney led obama among white women in polls a few weeks ago. not anymore.
democrats win more and more the longer this debate goes on. which is why you see them continuing to bump the subject.
if i were a republican, i'd look to change the subject the same way democrats did so succesfully with rush's unexpected help.
find a proverbial fat white dude asking for porn video's and beat it to death. hope that the other side is too timid to criticize him .
it's election gold.
