20. He has the Biden/Kaine position

the former VP and VP candidate.. so I don't know what you're talking about... of course there is room as long as he's politically pro-choice (which Lamb has stated).

Bill Clinton won many conservative red areas with his moderate 'safe, legal and rare' position on abortion (which is actually the position that most voters across the country support).

We either stand for choice/women's rights or we don't; so while there is room for moderation on the pro-choice position, I would say that there is no room for anti-choice candidates in the Dem party.
