Pat Buchanan, whose fiery speech at the Republican National Convention in 1992 demanded moral leadership in America, feels vindicated. Does Rush Limbaugh want Buchanan, Knight and others to stop using exit poll data to make their case for a moral majority victory? Don't count on it. The winds are blowing.
Pat Buchanan yesterday declared Mr. Bush's re-election — with 22 percent of voters naming moral issues as most important — a victory in the "culture war" that was the subject of Mr. Buchanan's famous 1992 Republican convention speech."George W. Bush was re-elected president because he turned this election into a triumphal, epic battle of the cultural war as his father refused to do in 1992," said Mr. Buchanan, who challenged the first President Bush in the 1992 Republican primaries. "The son stuck by his party's platform and themes as his father did not."

"What Bush should do first," Mr. Knight said, "is to send a bouquet of flowers to Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Chief Justice Margaret Marshall, whose clinically insane ruling against marriage ... set the tone for the showdown that occurred [Tuesday]."
