Dept. of Bad Coalition Relations

The 12th Commandment for Republicans: Thou shalt not diss Phyllis Schlafly:

Conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly is taking the McCain campaign to task for notifying her at the last minute that Sarah Palin will be a no-show on Tuesday when the Republican National Coalition for Life holds an event honoring the Alaska governor.
"I think this is clearly somebody in the McCain campaign who doesn't understand where the votes are coming from," Schlafly told ABC News. "They only told me this at 10 o'clock last night, and it was a call from somebody down-the-line in the McCain campaign.
"The pro-lifers who paid $95 to come to this event because of Sarah Palin are going to be very unhappy," she added.

Where would the GOP and the conservative cause be today, if not for Phyllis Schlafly? For the McCain campaign to diss her (and her supporters) is a blunder of monumental proportions.
