I'm sure that this is no huge political insight, but it strikes me that a candidate who hopes to steal votes from Bush cannot come out strongly in favor of gay marriage. The votes in question this selection are the conservative votes. The liberals are going to vote against Bush regardless.
My conspiracy theorist side even suspects that the election year timing of this gay marriage uprising is a purposeful attempt to polarize the population. It's sad that the issue of people loving eachother could overshadow declaring war under false pretenses, but it's entirely plausible.

sigh...
