“Gregory responds that the social issues trump economic issues.”
He really said that?
Dems and Media perceive the Republicans are weak on social issues.
Thus, guess what will be the subject between now and November?
The economy is showing some signs of recovery and jobless numbers are looking better [manipulated, of course, but they don’t care about that]. It will be more difficult for the Republicans to hit Obama over the head on economic issues if the manipulated unemployment rate is under 8% by November.
