How not to win over independent voters

Apparently, wingers are so frightened that McCain's evangelical base won't come out and vote for him that  a 527 called "The Christian Defense Coalition" is going up on the air with ads attacking Barack Obama as "the abortion president."

I think they should consider going positive: McCain is quite comfortable with the coat-hangar set. In the early 1990s, he was one of a small number of senators to oppose a federal crackdown on anti-choice domestic terrorists who were bombing women's health clinics, and more recently he's made it clear that he strongly supports overturning Roe v. Wade and will appoint Supreme Court justices who take after Roberts and Alito.
