The NOW gang is unhappy with the Democrats |

. . .Democratic Party efforts to recruit anti-abortion
candidates and take a more moderate position on abortion drew
fire Friday from Kim Gandy, president of the National
Organization for Women.
She told activists at the Campaign for America's Future meeting
that leading Democrats are trying too hard to redefine the
party's stance on key issues.
Leading Democrats, including New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, who
heads Democratic efforts to win seats in the Senate, and party
chairman Dean have been overly eager to recruit supporters and
candidates who don't support abortion choice, she said. . . .
Gandy said she was concerned about Democrats trying to build
support "if it means throwing women's rights overboard like so
much ballast, ... if it means abandoning the core principles of
the Democratic Party."
Efforts by Democrats and others to blend religion and politics
also drew Gandy's criticism.
"So many political leaders are trying to be Republican lite and
they're being encouraged by the Democratic Party," she said.
"Please, somebody tell them we don't need two Republican
parties."
