Obama’s poll numbers are down because of the economy.

So, Obama is going to unsuccessful if he tries to run on social issues if the economy continues to struggle?

Obama would love to turn the discussion from a collapsing economy to social issues.

It's pretty amusing that the morons who are supposedly on our side keep saying that social issues don't matter and it's all about the economy (cough...Mitch Daniels...cough). Meanwhile, you have Obama out there making a huge stink about social issues.

Clearly, social issues DO matter. And without articulate guys like Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich out there boosting our side of the debate, we're not only going to lose the election, but ultimately lose the debate which is more important.
