C if he wins, F if he loses.
A D if he loses. When did anyone win on abortion on any side of the issue at this level anyways? I mean Santorum had abortion as like #3 or 4, right? And Tom Coburn ran on Personhood on Steroids but that wasn't his main issue.
Democratic strategy has been either Reid 2010 and/or Bennet 2010 in most of these races, the problem is that if the GOP candidate is smooth and doesn't have a video from 1999 waiting to tank his chances, it doesn't work. On the opposite coin the Democrats then get hit for talking about abortion and distracting from the der jobs.
I think it vindicates my assessment in 2008 that he could have been beaten with a better environment, and certainly wasn't the god people were making him out to be when they were fawning over the possibly of a multistate Senate continuation of the Udall dynasty.
