Issues which energize the GOP base and appeal to the middle

I love Via Meadia, but in a post about Romney and his opportunity to use the issue of education to his advantage, this line is just wrong:
  For Romney, this is a rare issue that both energizes the conservative base of the Republican Party and reaches out toward the center ground in an inclusive way...
Talk about ridiculous.  There are a large number of important issues, most of them in this election, which energize the GOP base and appeal to a majority of voters (which obviously includes the center).  My comment:

How clueless is this line?
Tax cuts, reducing government bureaucracy and spending, repealing Obamacare, upholding religious freedom, defeating cap and trade and other global warming boondoggles — the list of issues which energize the GOP base and appeal to a majority of US voters just goes on and on.
Rare? ‘Rare’ is a way to describe reporters who asked about Obama’s past, people who remember him from college, his girlfriends, Barack’s efforts to reach out to the GOP or Congress, or the times he’s opted out of a vacation or round of golf.
