I could give two hoots about social issues right now, the debate needs to be focused on leadership and fiscal policies.
The thing is, if you watched both conventions, one party seemed to be primarily focused on fiscal issues and the other included more social issue rhetoric. And the candidate whose party chose to focus on fiscal issues is losing. Maybe it's a coincidence, but perhaps there is something else there: the main criticism of Mitt Romney is that he isn't seen as empathetic, rather as cold an indifferent. Perhaps more discussion of social issues would have soften his image some?
Maybe, but if they did that then its going to be a big distraction and open more can of worms. That's not going to help Romney's campaign image at all.
I remember Paul Ryan talking about leaving it up to the state to deal with marijuana issues. In CO, we have amendement 64, which legalizes marijuana for recreational use and lets people grow up to 6 plants. Half of the GOP is not totally sold on this idea.
