is it any suprise the republican leadership wants to downplay the role of social conservatives on their biggest night? gay marraige, abortion and family values are important to a lot of americans, but none of these issues have fired up middle-of-the-road voters in 2004. it makes sense to dwell on less devisive topics like security and the economy.

Yes, it is a surprise that the leadership of the republicans wants to move away from their base.
