I was thinking that the better strategy might be to get elected, then start your vigorous crackdown.

Like the Dems do all the time.

This plank, if the op is true, will bring to bear the resources of a wealthy, connected, and popular (among some circles) industry in working to defeat the GOP.

I have not researched this but weren’t there lots of first amendment cases over the years defining what is legal, what is hardcore, and so forth? This will lead to ambiguity and confusion, which could mean that the GOP spends lots of time and effort discussing this issue, while Obama’s team tries to make the case that a Romney win would be even worse than an Obama second term.

It's counter-intuitive but that may not be true. Last I read the porn industry is down due to the high availability of free porn over the Internet. Some in the industry might prefer it went back to it's corner, so that users had to pay for it again. The women in my family will like this plank and see it as pro-woman and interestingly at odds with the Democrat characterization of Republicans.

“I have not researched this but weren’t there lots of first amendment cases over the years defining what is legal, what is hardcore, and so forth?”

Of course. There have been many cases that the porn industry has won over the years. There’s always that First Amendment thing that throws a monkey wrench into the equation.

There was even one Supreme Court Justice who said, “I can’t define porn but I know it when I see it.” That made me laugh hysterically.
