John, I never suggested that you suggested that moral issues voters weren’t a critical part of the GOP coalition. I just suggested that you downplayed it as an issue compared to other issues (I wasn’t clear enough in the comparative aspect of it, and for that I apologize), and that Maggie Gallagher viewed it differently in light of the Pew results.
My comments were to say that there are three issues in 2004 that simply didn’t exist in 2000, and trying to make comparisons is almost impossible.
I could say more, but I’ve got to get the turkey in the oven, so I’m going to quit suggesting things now.
