[quote=Anonymous][quote]This is almost too blatantly obvious and I'm puzzled as to why the Republican party hasn't been able to figure it out yet. Many, many people now identify as "fiscally conservative" but "socially liberal" - to speak in broad brush terms - and a candidate who acknowledges this fact would win by a landslide in now-purple Virginia. [/quote] Because the Republican party sold its soul to the Religious Right a while back. Wedge social issues motivate the hard core religious base, and those people turn out for primaries. It's easy to get people to be passionate about "values" issues, and when those people vote as a block any Republican candidate who wants to get out of the primary has to pander to them. [/quote]
