I dont recall anyone protesting about social issues last April,the people were against the bailouts,redistribution of wealth and so on.Im not attacking HER social views Im just saying the Tea party are about Fiscal responsibility adn the unhappiness of both parties.

You totally ignored the historical relevance in my post.

If she ignores the social issues, she will lose, period.

In order to win, the three factions of conservatives will need to do the following:

1. Social conservative will have to be willing to give the Fiscal Conservatives small and limited government and a strong military to the NEOCons or whatever they might call themselves in exchange for their support on Abortion and Marriage issues.
2. Fiscal Conservatives will need to be willing to give the Social conservative their support on Abortion and Marriage issues and a Strong Military to the NEOCons in exchange for their support for strong fiscally conservative issues such as smaller and more limited government, tax-cuts, etc.
3. NEOCons or Strong Military Conservatives will have to agree to support Social Conservatives on Abortion and Gay Marriage, or at least not make it a big issue and support Fiscal Conservatives on fiscally conservative issues in return for the other groups supporting a strong military.

This is where the compromise is and where the victory is.

Any other path is a path to failure.
