Social Conservatives who have won as of late: GWB
Without social conservative votes, GWB would have been toast. Carl Rove said as much:
-----------------------------
...Rove said that one reason the 2000 election was so tight was that as many as 4 million Christian conservatives did not go to the polls, reported "The Chicago Tribune."
Although the Bush campaign had expected 19 million evangelical voters to vote for their man, election returns revealed only 15 million turned out to cast ballots.
Speaking yesterday at an American Enterprise Institute seminar, Rove said the Bush campaign "probably failed to marshal support of the base as well as we should have," said the "Tribune." Rove added: "But we may also be returning to the point in America where fundamentalists and evangelicals remain true to their beliefs and think politics is corrupt and, therefore, they shouldn't participate."
Rove said that if the "process of withdrawal" went on it would be bad for the country as well as conservatives and Republicans. "It's something we have to spend a lot of time and energy on."

You mean the GWB who was once Pro-choice, but easily and shamelessly switched his position in order to become RR's VP? Really? I didn't know we wanted hypocrites.
You mean the divorced Gipper? I don't know how the family-values types missed that one. The way they jump of Gingrich and Guiliani, you would have thought the concept and stigma of divorce was brand-spaknin' new, and didn't exist in 1980.
You mean the Anti-Israel, Pro-Soviet, sit-on-his-hands-while-Islamofascists-took-Americans-Hostage-for-a-year, Southern Gentleman who couldn't find his own ass with both and and a roadmap.
The first two examples blow your own argument to smithereens (if you consider yourself to be a conservative,it's stange how you let them pass without raising an eyebrow), the last is just plain stupid.
