I think Obama's going to flip on gay marriage [View All]

I don't know when it will be, but I see it happening. Obviously, if it's after he leaves office that won't do us a whole lot of good. Bill Clinton, the signer of DOMA, did the same thing.

But I do think the possibility at least exists of Obama either coming out in favor of marriage equality before the election to rally the liberal base, or after the election, if he wins. In the latter scenario, he's be a second term president, never having to face the voters again, with the tailwind of public opinion running in favor of the pro-equality side: young people are overwhelmingly pro-equality and they are getting older and voting more and more.
