FILE - In this Aug. 27, 2012 file photo, Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney leaves Wolfeboro, N.H. For a man basing his presidential hopes on a jobs-and-economy message, Mitt Romney has spent an inordinate amount of time talking about other issues, from abortion to Medicare to weather. Many of those distractions have been beyond his control while others were his own doing. GOP strategists, fearing precious time lost, are now eager to use the convention to regain control of the message -- at least for three days. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File)

FILE - In this May 9, 2012, file photo President Barack Obama is seen on a White House television in Washington during an interview with ABC News where he said he supports gay marriage. Voters in this presidential election may face the starkest choice ever on the hot-button social issues of same-sex marriage, abortion rights and access to birth control. Most voters tell pollsters that the economy is their chief concern. But advocacy groups on the left and right are in high gear _ with bus tours, YouTube videos and fundraising _ pointing out the sharp differences between the parties in the current phase of the culture wars. The upcoming conventions will highlight the contrasts between the parties on abortion and other issues. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster, File)
