"Moral values" is also a sort of cow-catcher question, which can pick up both opposition to legalized gay marriage,

Bush never really worked the Gay marriage amendments. But they helped him. The left now thinks of "moral values" as a cover for gay bashing. People who did not what to approve gay marriage certainly thought of it as "moral values." But I think the subject was much larger. They hate the Hollywood/hip hop life they see on TV, and see these people with their arms around the Dems. They looked on Teresa as "rich bitch."

But it all boiled down to the fact that no Northeastern liberal is going to be elected Prez. The Dems have now ended up running the entire Dukakis/Kerry ticket. Stupid. They had better find a western/border/southern Governor.

Civil unions are now up to about a 35% approval rating. That's a big step forward. And Bush got 20% of the gay vote.

With about a quarter of respondents answering "moral values" as their chief concern voting for Kerry, it is certain that the use of the phrase is broader. But it is a matter of language. Someone interested in "equity" might invoke moral values, but those who are concerned with discipline are likelier to use such language.
