The Culture warriors went belly up during the midterms and the Traditionalists have taken the wheel.

That remains to be seen. We lost a few traditionalists in the midterms.

The purest embodiment of the culture warrior in the GOP was Rick Santorum. Santorum went down in flames over Pittsburgh. Political ideas by their very nature tend to push at the boundaries of their theory until the electorate can no longer stand the pressure and they revolt at the ballot box. Lefty Liberals did it in the 60's and 70's and America staged a ballot box revolt with Reagan and liberals were justifiably sundered. Then much like the liberls of the 60's and 70's the culture warrior wing of conservatism began pushing at the boundaries and the predictable backlash occurred in 2006. Liberals made a conscious move to the center and the Culture warriors refused to budge an inch. The result was even worse that predicted. Now the Culture warriors have lost control and the Traditionalists have taken control. 2008 will be a battle for the center. That is why the Traditionalists ( RINOS to the CW's) have dramatically taken control. The CW's led the GOP over a cliff in 2006.
