For the mushy middle, I think your four simple points are spot on, Victor.

I would only add a point #5, especially for Reagan Democrats and fence-sitting Evangelicals: “I will appoint judges who will enforce the constitution, not “refine” it. My opponent is comfortable living in a world where judges continually refine words into new meanings, and so we have habeas corpus rights now for terrorist enemies, marriage rights for homosexuals, and no rights for the unborn. I’m not comfortable with Barack’s Brave New World, and will appoint judges who believe that words simply mean what they say, and that voters should decide whether or not the constitution should be changed.”
