Define values. I don't quite understand, if you mean religious values or something else.
If so, have a look at Europe. No candidate or party is elected because of propagating religion or faith. On the contrary, the ones doing so have all failed miserably. Noone gives a shit if candidates park their asses at church on sundays.
Well thats not exactly true. Those parliamentary systems usually have a more spread out mix of parties. If it was a 2 party system I am sure that the wing nuts would have more sway
