Spot the missing issue

Here's the key graf from Rick Davies, John McCain's campaign manager, on tonight's results: 

"As our Party's nomination contest comes to a close, we now face the larger test, a fundamental choice for our nation's future. John McCain offers Americans a bold vision for conservative change to cut taxes, end wasteful spending, reform our health care system, win the war against radical Islamic extremism and strengthen our national security.”

I think we can safely say that McCain isn't planning on running on social issues in the fall! Seriously, McCain's victory should show people that the stereotype of the Republicans as a bunch of social fundamentalists is simply not accurate.
