It's about time!

It's just a calculation. Votes lost versus votes gained. It's been obvious for ages that Obama doesn't have objections in principle to same-sex marriage.
But would it cost him votes overall? That's the big gamble he's been reluctant to take till now.

He knows he won't get the religious fundie vote anyway, so I expect they were just nervously polling the floating voters to see how they would take it.

So, how many Big Time Preacher Men being caught with their dicks in rent boys will it take to balance this out?

The definition of a leader is someone who seeing which way the crowd is running, then gets out front and yells "Follow me!"

I suspect it was really the Biden "gaffe" (i.e. accidental telling of truth) that prompted this.

I suspect Biden was deliberately preparing the ground for the President to do it three days later.

Then again, Biden has always been one to gaffe for real. Verbal diarrhea at times.

VPs are sacrificial. Look at Wallace prior to the 1944 convention.

In the larger scheme of things, a VP is between a knight and a bishop.

Of course, if we carry this metaphor much farther, we arrive at the conclusion that the President is a queen.

Does that make us the pawns?

We can talk about James Buchanan. That might've really been the case with him.

Somehow I think I'm part of the chessboard. Hmph.

Really? He always seemed indecisive to me in my readings, but that's carrying it a bit far.

Nice.


Could this be an attempt to woo the clearly huge Republican LGBT lobby over to the side of the Democrats?
