"We had a total victory," she proclaimed after Republicans adopted a pro-life platform at the national convention.

The founder of Eagle Forum, Schlafly has attended every GOP presidential convention since 1952, including 11 times as a delegate or alternate. This year she's a delegate from Missouri.
"After Rep. Roy Blunt, the third-ranking GOP House member, finished speaking to the Missouri delegation Tuesday, Schlafly was the first person he sought out. Blunt had read her latest book - 'The Supremacists: The Tyranny of Judges and How to Stop It' - and liked it," the Associated Press reported today.
The conservative icon said: "The most enjoyable part is walking around on the floor and seeing all my friends from other states.
"No, I take that back. The most enjoyable part is winning."
