It's really as simple as this: right now, the GOP is winning the people who agree with them on both social and fiscal issues.  To win, they either need to use mainly cultural conservatism (while moderating on economic issues) to reach new voters - such as Hispanics, Blacks, some Dixiecrat holdouts, etc. - or use mainly fiscal conservatism (while moderating on social issues) to reach new voters - such as culturally liberal suburbanites in the North, Asians and young professionals.  Naturally, I'd prefer the latter, but I also believe that this path will yield more electoral advantage.  The college educated, the wealthy and those who live in suburbs vote at the highest rates.  Get their votes.  The GOP has already - in the past - proven it can do it.  It's never proven it can do the second.
