“Fiscal conservatism is a sure winner, everytime. And now more than ever in this political climate.”

Not every time. We are more likely to win over blacks and Hispanics with social conservatism.

Karl Rove spent a decade trying to win over blacks and hispanics, and all he got out of it was a Democrat House, Senate, and president.
Republicans would do well concentrating on being responsive to the desires of the majority of Americans, rather than catering to constituencies. We've had way too much of that from both sides for decades now. It's what has brought America to the brink of collapse.

Actually, social conservatism is the key to winning over Catholics and Reagan Democrats as well. That is one of the reasons both groups moved heavily toward Republicans in this election cycle.
