It seems pretty outrageous to some Democrats to consider supporting a pro-life candidate in a gubernatorial primary, especially against a qualified woman. I am sure Dina Titus would agree, right? Senate Minority Leader Titus's gubernatorial campaign has not been subtle in making this point, seizing on comments Henderson Mayor Jim Gibson has made about abortion. How different the world was a dozen years ago when Titus was backing Gov. Bob Miller, a pro-life Democrat, running against a qualified woman, Las Vegas Mayor Jan Jones. Miller actually used the same "the people have spoken on this issue" rhetoric Gibson is employing now as a shield. Where was the female, pro-choice bonding then?
