Yes, we need to milk this, as the GOP will send in the Palins and Haleys to diffuse this, and Schulz is perfect, as, since she was and is a Clinton Supporter, sends a clear message that "no way, no how, no GOP." to cop a riff off HRC.

<SNIP>

Democrats didn’t have their message straight on Sunday.

In separate segments on CNN’s State of the Union, two top Democrats differed on whether Republicans are waging a “war on women,” a central line of attack that Democrats have reaped big political gains for amid the GOP’s recent push to limit access to contraception.

Later on the same show, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO), the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus and an influential African-American voice, strongly pushed back on his own party’s line of attack.

When Clever, a United Methodist pastor, lit into the GOP’s claim that President Obama is anti-religion, social conservative Ralph Reed retorted, “Congressman, is it similarly wrong, then, for Democrats to say that the Republican Party is engaged in a war on women? Is that wrong?”

“Yes, that is wrong. And I’ve never said it, not one time,” Cleaver responded. “I condemn it. If it’s a Democrat, if it’s my cousin, it’s wrong.”

“We have got to quit exaggerating our political differences,” he said.
