I watched a brief but interesting interview of Mike Huckabee on CNN last night. He's hawking his book in which he strongly reiterates his priority of social issues such as marriage, family and morality over others.
The interviewer pointedly asked him why Americans should care about such issues given the state of the economy and his answer is that the state of the family IS an economic issue. He referred specifically to deadbeat dads and split-families in his explanation rather than gay marriage but you get the idea.
I thought it was a pretty clever spin but I don't think it'll hold much if the real economy is in the crapper.
