“It’s the economy, stupid” was the slogan Bill Clinton used to bash George Bush in 1992. The GOP, which had planned to hammer the Democrats this year over the economy, may now switch to quite a different rallying cry: “It’s the culture, stupid.”

Meanwhile, Obama’s decision to ignite a culture war by making it illegal for Catholics to obey their own teachings on contraception could persuade Republican voters that Rick Santorum might me the best man to battle the president in November.
