OK, I do think it is “The Economy Stupid” and that Santorum should try to talk about the economy, most of the time.
However? Santorum IS talking about the economy more than anything else, 2nd being foreign affairs.
The MSM wants it to be about “Social Issues” but that is a measure of the stupidity and arrogance of the MSM!
THE SOCIAL ISSUES BENEFIT CONSERVATIVES IN NEARLY EVERY ELECTION WHERE EXIT POLLS HAVE ASKED ABOUT MOTIVATION TO VOTE!
Single Issue prolifers outnumber Single Issue prochoicers by at least 5 percentage points, everywhere in the country.
Gay Marriage, generally goes down to defeat every time it is on the ballot.
Santorum can EASILY get a strong majority vote, and the women's vote, but focusing his pornography arguments on kiddie porn, as he seems to be doing the last few days.
You might have a personal unease about the “social issues” but? There is NO good, mathematical reason for Republicans to be the least bit affraid of the “social issues”.
Well said.
GWBush won, Reagan won.
HW Bush, lost, Dole, lost, McCain, lost,
Seems to me whenever republicans stand up for social conservatism they win.
