These are the two main issues that are behind the rise of the conservative right in this country.

The issue of abortion.
The issue of God being taken away from being part of raising of our children.

They are always important to Christians, and Christians have come to expect that the person who seeks their vote will support their views .

This election is different.

Now this time around the two central core issues to the Conservative right are not even spoken about by the person who may lead the ticket.

This means that driving force to get them in the car and go down and bother to stand in line to vote will be missing from this election.

In place of this will be what?

What issue that is core to the conservative Christian will be as important to them in order to drive millions of them to the voting booth?

The economy?......FAT CHANCE!

By this time next year the media will be all on-board with what will be called "The Obama Recovery" and so scratch that issue off the list of things that might get the right to vote for Mitt.

How about the issue of taxes?.......well, being the gov of what is called "Taxachussetts" means that Mitt has no "I will lower your taxes" , type footing to stand on ...

So that issue is dead too.

What about healthcare?.....right........thats lost to Mitt as an issue too.

How about the Space program?
Obama more or less has destroyed the NASA space plans, so would that issue be a point that might drive the conservative right to support Mitt over Obama?.....not if Mitt's remarks in the debates is any guide. And the fact that the space program is really not a big deal to the conservative Christan voter....

The point Im making is that no Republican can expect to win the White House without getting the core Republican right all fired-up to help him get out the vote.
This means the whoever is on the ticket has to be able to stand before the Conservative right and say, "Im with you, "

Mitt cant do that.

There are others in the race (The 3 names in the lower poll numbers) that can stand before the Republican conservative base and say "Im one of you"...."I believe as you do"....."I support the same agenda as you do"

They could bring with them the Republican core base.
