You aren't making any sense. The younger Republicans are as if not more fiscally conservative but not as socially conservative as older ones. It's not even close. The difference is just to huge to ignore, save for perhaps being pro-life.

That's the party line right now, but I don't believe anything of the sort: the several young Republicans I know all voted for Huckabee in the Republican primaries last year, and these are the few people I know who actually know who Rick Warren is.

What's happening right now is just a reaction to Obama's nationalization of industry. In the long-term (~20-30 years), however, I expect it to be the reverse.

That's funny, because none of the young Republicans I know even remotely like Huckabee. Huckabee couldn't even carry Mississippi in the primaries. He's is not going to be popular among young Republicans, if he could not even carry a socially conservative state.

In fairness, McCain had clinched and Huckabee had dropped out by that point.
