Flashpoint for Oct. 24, 2005

Maybe he was just being honest. When Henderson Mayor Jim Gibson said last week that as governor he would propose legislation to ban abortion except in rare cases if Roe vs. Wade were overturned, he may have damaged himself in a Democratic primary. Senate Minority Leader Dina Titus' campaign brought out the confetti. Gibson's spinners were like Tasmanian devils trying to back off the statement. Gibson could have been more noncommittal. But he wasn't. And so this goes to a fundamental issue for him. It's one thing for Titus to try to fudge positions to try to move to the center. But Gibson can't change who he is. He is a pro-life Mormon. So be it. If he tries to be someone else, he will be unmasked.
