I hear that Buchanan has turned his campaign into a promise to his 
constituency to getting an unequivocal anti-abortion-choice plank into 
the Republican platform.  I hope that will have the divisive effect 
within the R that it seemed to have last time, and that may actually 
contribute to other parties / people appearing _more_ reasonable to many 
people.
