quinnclub puts into words what I've been thinking when I see people wanting to make same-sex marriage their single issue at the polls (and he does it much more eloquently, I must say, since my thoughts tend to be the knee-jerk "But...but..but... Jobs! War! Fundies! Nnngghh!!"). Until that joyous day when there is no government involvement in marriage at all, it is a state issue, regardless of how the Doofus in Chief tries to play it for political advantage. While I disagree with Kerry's views on the whether to support a state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, this would not be the issue that makes me decide to vote or not vote for him.
[Edit: I am not trying to trivialize the issue of same-sex marriage, I think it is important, and I think anyone who wants to get married should be able to. If I'm prioritizing though, I'd put job growth higher on the scale.]
This is great for ratings

I barely ever watch tv, but I could really dig that.
