Obama Gambles On Gay Marriage

[ItsTheSheppy]

The gamble, warborn, will be that it might cause folks who wouldn't normally bother getting out to vote, but who really hate homosexuals, will go out to vote just to vote for Romney. Also, that bigots who normally vote for Democrats will vote republican instead.

The possible profit would be convincing conservatives and moderates who support gay marriage to come out in favor of him over Romney, who they may have otherwise voted for.

I don't really see it having a major impact; it'll probably be zero sum. It's nice to see it in the national conversation. It's a point of shame for our nation, and it's time we all had a talk about it.
