Don't Give Them Any Ideas

Via Balloon Juice, Frank Rich on the Republican primary:
The longer the GOP race continues, the more Romney mimics Santorum's positions on these issues. No matter who the candidate is, it looks like Obama has the gift of running against the anti-contraception party. The only thing that could be better is if the GOP decides to bring back Prohibition.
How on earth can these guys mount any type of successful campaign?  Is Beaver Cleaver going to be the VP candidate?  This sure seems like the perfect strategy to reelect Obama. 

Notably, I heard the parish priest talk about the birth control deal last night.  Not surprisingly, he was extremely dismissive of the President.  What surprised me though, was that he brought up Obamacare death panels, then he lauded Cardinal-elect Dolan for saying that as taxpayers, Catholics shouldn't be required to pay for something that went against their consciences.  I couldn't help but wonder how people opposed to the death penalty or war could opt out of paying for it.  I almost asked, but I didn't want the hassle.
