Obama Restarts Culture Wars on Offense May 14, 2012 7:14 am ER

http://news.yahoo.com/political-insights-obama-restarts-culture-wars-offense-231013983–abc-news-politics.html

President Obama’s move to embrace same-sex marriage sets an unmistakable tone for the general election: Democrats don’t feel the need to fear social issues, even ones that have been conservative lynchpins in years past.

Democrats, starting with the one who’s topping the ticket, are the ones inserting talk of gay rights and reproductive rights into the national conversation.

From a tactical standpoint, this is going to be an interesting campaign. As the article points out, the culture wars are not necessarily an advantage for the GOP any more, they may very well be a liability from now on. America seems to be growing up.
