Reagan wasn't elected on 'social' issues, it was defense and the economy.

But that was decades ago during the Cold War and MAD. The threat of nuclear destruction had more people interested in things like defense and security. Now we are more worried about who will win American Idle.

I'd argue that people are even more interested in defense and security now.

And it was in 1994 that the 'Contract with America' caused a revolution, all on 'political' issues. Not one social issue there.
