Republicans have lots of "get out the vote" strategies - such as divisive ballot referenda. I hope they don't do this in Georgia, cause they don't need to do it here. But they will probably do it in other states, where it will help their presidential candidate. Anything that gets Republicans out to the polls will be useful as nobody cares about Obama. On whether he'd back a bill, if one is submitted, that would ask voters to consider a constitutional amendment in support of "personhood," effectively criminalizing abortion: "It's too early to tell at this point, but traditionally I've always been very supportive of pro-life issues. Traditionally, I've always had a stance that allowing the people to vote on a constitutional amendment whether I'm for or against it makes good policy. [But] you obviously need to be very sensitive ... that it doesn't have unintended consequences."
