Les copio casi todo el párrafo. A ver si ayuda. ¡Gracias! The Hudson case is the first time ever that a court has allowed bean counters to override the wishes of parents. “They gave up in six months,” Wanda Hudson told the Houston Chronicle. “They made a terrible mistake.” Wanda apparently was not “cable ready,” as they say in the television world, and she failed to get Randall Terry and the radical anti-abortionists on her side. Tom DeLay never called. Could there be - perish the thought - politics at work here? Knowing that they cannot *deliver on* a gay-rights amendment or abortion ban, Karl Rove & Co. settled on bonding to the base with the Schiavo case. The beauty part, as Ross Perot used to say, was that they could be cynical and sincere at the same time, even if it meant twisting themselves into ideological pretzels.

En general, deliver on quiere decir "cumplir con lo prometido", pero en este caso creo que sería más apropiado algún otro verbo, a menos que el texto completo indique que sí prometió estas cosas.
