What the RNC really talked about in Bloomington

Hotline's Blog is publishing a memo from Republican pollster Fred Steeper. He says the war on terror is the top issue among GOP voters:

Steeper concluded that the president's prosecution of the international war on terror -- and worries that Democrats will abdicate that responsibility -- are the single most active motivator for those surveyed. As Steeper wrote in his memo "A huge 87% of the Base expresses extremely strong feelings about one or more of these issues."

Impeachment talk, taxes and social issues are also big issues for the GOP base.
