(I can't believe that I am posting to another abortion topic gone feral.)
Sprocket, there are many things that I consider when choosing a candidate, but "abortion" isn't one of them. A woman's freedom of choice in reproductive issues, however, is just one of the issues that are important to me.
My votes since 2000 have been made by who I think should nominate the next Supreme Court justices. Reversing the damage that has been done to the Constitution is far more important to me than wasting time once again with the "moral" divisive issues that get drug out during every election by conservatives hoping to energize the religious right, once again.
The moral bankruptsy of the Republican party requires some other platform other than personal choices to regain the trust of the religious right. A return to the core beliefs of most conservatives, such as fiscal responsibility, will also be necessary.
I sincerely doubt that there will be single issue voters in this election period.
