“The Democrats’ mistake this past election was in thinking that a disastrous war, national bankruptcy, erosion of liberties, corporate takeover of government, environmental destruction, squandering our economic and moral leadership in the world, and systematic lying by an administration would be of concern to the electorate. The Republicans correctly saw that the chief concern of the electorate was to keep gay couples from having an abortion.”

That’s so close to what you are saying it is spooky, but you would probably would have said the Republicans realized they could CONVINCE the electorate… Rock On!
