19. Remember, wedge issues work on a percentage basis.
All they need to do is peel of one in twenty of the Black and Latinos and we get hurt bad in our base. And if one in twenty of the center swing voters is also swayed by the issue, then our goose is throughly cooked.

So many people here seem to think that people vote as solid blocks and they don't. There WILL be SOME for whom this will be an important issue.
