Simple Lessons

Wise words from Rich Lowry:

The one blatantly obvious lesson from his candidacy that is going oddly unremarked is: Don’t run as a pro-choicer for the Republican presidential nomination.

The strange thing is that people keep re-learning this lesson — Pete Wilson, Steve Forbes, now Rudy Giuliani. It’s genuinely bizarre. You don’t see any Democrats thinking they can win a Democratic presidential nomination as a pro-lifer.
