I don't believe anyone was running on cultural issues until George Stephanopoulos conveniently brought up contraception in a debate, approximately one week before the administrations contraception kerfuffle. But you may be right about the "marketing" angle. I think the GOP has been sucked into the opposition's marketing strategy, leaving them in an unfriendly defensive position. I mean how can you successfully correct a negative, once it's been presented as fact to a willing populace?
