Republicans have always done well with, though frequently grown bored with, championing law and order issues.
If we sink into deep recession, we will have an uptick of violence, crime, and political militancy (think ACORN). Obama has already shown with the current sit-in at the Chicago factory that his default setting will be to both support and encourage such direct action. The understandable sympathy can easiliy be read as licence by the disaffected and desperate. It would not take much to spark mayhem (as is occurring in Athens today). There are many moderate voters (especially the suburb, exurb Obama voters) who would be very attracted to a party that maintains security and private property.
I love the tough on crime idea, I think most think things are getting out of control, car jacking, bank robberies, I mean all lawlessness is on the rise.
But as to the abortion issue this is also where energy and passion comes from, I know some for life group that travels hundreds of miles away for rallies. Life, Fair Tax, Religion and things like that brings in energized supporters with pure passion behind them that will go the extra mile. You get more energy when you actually fighting for something and this energy brings excitement that spreads to others that may not even know what originally got the excitement started. This is exactly why McCain could get no excitement because he did not go after any of these Passion groups until picking Palin and letting her do it, however I believe by that point it was to late.
