With the exception of guns, dean is a cultural liberal and bush a cultural conservative. That involves issues like abortion, stem cell research, gay marriage, etc.

Dean's against any national position on gay marriage, leaving it to states to determine whether to authorize civil unions or not. Dean's position is more "culturally conservative" than those in the GOP who suggest a national law on something not in the Constitution.

Much of the cultural conserative conflicts are a calculated distraction, and traps for Dems. Nobody likes abortion, even the abortion rights activists. The question is whether gov't should be involved in the issue. Like race, it's a terrific knee-jerk issue to mobilize the populace into giving money to one side or the other. I expect Dean will avoid these divisive issues to the extent possible.

Bush, otoh, is decidedly unconservative when it comes to intrusions into personal life, and secretive and all-powerful central gov't.
