Reply #16: Perhaps because he thinks the "culture wars" matter more?

Remember, he is a tub-thumping anti-choicer concerned about the Supreme Court, etc..

Despite some overlapping with Buchanan et al on neo-isolationism, etc., I'm (like Howard Stern?) probably a great example of his exact opposite in "the culture wars", and I know from experience that they can be a powerful fuel/base. I think it's a shame the Kerry campaign didn't seem to understand the power:

"Did Kerry give one speech on the subject since the March For Women’s Lives back in April? Did the campaign run a single TV ad about abortion?"
