They come out too strong preaching social issues then they will lose.
______________
They had better not remain too silent on thise “social issues.” THis is a flawed and mythical mentality. That was what McCain tried to do — and a WHOLE LOT of the Conservative Base didn’t take too kindly to it. By the way — McCain lost. Perhaps a REAGAN approach would be better — you might remember that Reagan didn’t shy away from “social issues,” and he won LANDSLIDES — TWICE.
I did say “too strong preaching”.
Reagan ran against a very weak Carter and again with Mondull.
His fiscal conservatism and strong defense stance were the winning formula and the primary message.
