So I heard Sam Brownback on Hannity today. God bless the man, he has no chance.
I think he knows this though, and I suspect that winning the election is not his primary motivation. I truly believe that his first goal is to bring the sanctity of life into the fore of the public debate. I am convinced of this because of what he said to Sean today. Sean asked Senator Brownback about abortion in the case of rape and he didn't dodge the question as any other politician with blind ambition would have done. He stook his ground and pointed out that the child is still innocent and sentencing her to death will not solve the exterior problems.
That is a hard lesson to take, but one that our society needs to learn.

Oh, and by the way, sales pitches will be shown the trash can.
