The Dems and abortion

Here's an interesting article published in the Boston Globe yesterday headlined "Democrats eye softer image on abortion."  It's interesting to note that during the South Dakota campaigns for federal office this year, Senator Daschle worked hard to cloak his position on abortion, while Rep. Herseth never denied her position on the issue.  Herseth won, and Daschle lost.  Perhaps the key to winning elections in this state is to spare us the acrobatics on the issue.
