The place where same sex marriage will galvanize social conservatives like no other issue since legal abortion is in down ballot races. Republicans, somewhat demoralized since losing three special elections in a row, now have a unifying issue to run on. Americans, while possibly persuadable on civil unions, are against legal same sex marriage by wide margins in most polls. Many will also find galling that the decision to lift the ban on same sex marriage was accomplished by judicial fiat and not through the political and legislative process
...
The same sex marriage issue, now brought to the fore, has the potential of bringing out social conservatives to the polls in large numbers. That could turn what many believe will be a Democratic election year into something else entirely.
I think that the sublect of gay marriage is important to the 2008 election. I really believe that that there are a large pollution of gay voters and the candidates need to take that into consideration.
