To me it's clear: same sex marriage is as sacred as the more traditional and, should I say, "palatable" union of a man and a woman, but it seems that for some odd reason the significance of the former has become an election issue. Whether the VP really messed up (again) or whether his words were carefully chosen and crafted by team Obama is of no consequence; the incumbent has a dilemma that needs to be addressed (it usually happens when you promise everything to everybody) and the Washington Post's alleged guy bashing episode in Romney's remote past has not helped; on the contrary, it underscores the fact that a huge chunk of the main stream media is ever too willing to root for the current tenant at Pennsylvania 1600. The Obama evolving v.s. Romney the gay-bashing jerk did not work, some of the sources for the story are said to be hesitant to confirm the fact and the latest Rasmussen poll puts Romney four points ahead of Mr. Obama.
I still believe the president will have his four more years and the opportunity of being more "flexible" whatever that may mean; however, his team needs to bear in mind that this time around things can get a little nasty and that victory at the polls must never be taken for granted. Appealing to such a large section of the electorate has a downside: you make a lot of people angry; moreover, why should Peter and Jimmy worry about their marital status when they don't even have jobs in the first place. Most Americans seem favorable to some sort of arrangement so that people of different sexual inclinations can coexist and achieve their goals, but most importantly, they are concerned about when and if the banks will start lending money to those who really need it, about when we will finally be out of two wasteful wars so far away from home, about when the south border will be effectively protected and some sort of solution is reached for the millions of illegals that are already in the country. There are so many pressing issues and once again, the politicians are trying to make us look the other way. They do really think we're stupid, and they may have point
