No offense to the conservatives there — are there any?" Hi, Tammi! :p As a die-hard federalist, I'm afraid that I have to agree with Mr. Romney on this one. Regulation of health, safety, and welfare (i.e. medicine & crime) are quintessential state functions, and I don't like them being regulated on the federal level. On a very pragmatic level, state regulation will make this less of a federal/political issue. If a human life amendment passes, pro-choicers will waste no time trying to overturn it. “Only if it looks like he can carry that fruity state of CA.

You can't get 66% of Congress to go for it, and I doubt 38 states would pass it either. Being anti-Roe is all that would make a difference. Getting rid of that piece of garbage decision would allow states to make up their own minds, so at least some abortions would be curbed. None would be curbed by a President who supported the Human Life Amendment. I’m not a big fan of Romney, but support for a Human Life Amendment at this point is meaningless.

I might switch to "Duncan Hines" if he appears more electable and I learn more about him. Only if it looks like he can carry that fruity state of CA. No offense to the conservatives there -- are there any? Sticking with Brownback here. I might switch to “Duncan Hines” if he appears more electable and I learn more about him.

And so passes a candidate off of my "maybe" list as well. Thanks for pointing this out.
