I don't think that is as true as many make it out to be. Gun Control and abortion are huge issues, in the primaries they are less important. The republican base will vote with the republican party, the moderates are the ones that are going to be in the air. The right candidate on either side will be able to take the entire group. I don't see Clinton or Obama doing that. The GOP has already done a good job of labeling them as far lefters.
