Perhaps, but I think it would also be pretty easy to argue that the liberals are winning the culture wars. Boy do I disagree with that statement. A few years ago perhaps - but not today. We are becoming one of the most culturally conservatives western nations. That McCain flipped on his thinking towards the culturally conservative Christian groups and the fact that this old man who seems to ramble incoherently at times and is running on Bush's record and still wants to fight a war in Iraq - ALL things that mainstream America is against - is telling of the cultural conservative base that supports him. steve

Good point, liberals have indeed won it, imo.

Perhaps, but I think it would also be pretty easy to argue that the liberals are winning the culture wars. That should come as no surprise. Liberals, by and large, align with science and accept change. Conservatives, by and large, align with tradition and oppose change. The best that conservatives can do is slow the process, and they have done quite well in that department. If you change your metric to be how slow change can be made to happen, then Conservatives can "win", or in fact might be winning currently.
