42. I don't understand why our candidates have such trouble answering that question.
I know Edwards is a Christian and a good man who was raised thinking a certain way. He's admitted that he struggles with the topic but he IS coming around and I do give him credit for that.

However, we constantly allow this to used as a wedge issue. I really like the way Wes Clark handles it, which is basically to turn the question around and ask "Why shouldn't anyone be allowed to marry the person they love and want to share a commitment with?"

Doesn't the right support commitment and monogamy? Well, then let's let gay people get married.
