Entry: Right From the Beginning Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/right_from_the_beginning#22841 Post contents: I can remember at the time that even people who cared and had a definite opinion on the Schiavo case could sympathize with or at least understand the position of the other side. As such, I can't really believe that it cost the republicans much. I suspect the average person would now struggle to remember who Terry Schiavo was, much less what position the various politicians took during that ordeal. I am about the same age as you and remember having a more similar reaction to the Clinton impeachment, but I also remember that most of the men in my family took an unholy joy in watching the guy roast. There were and are a lot of white men who just completely despise Clinton. When you take that into consideration, it is possible to look at the situation as one of the rare times when the GOP actually served it's base. Sent at: 2008 08 30
