2. His religious right following is not going to like this....
more will be staying home and not voting.

3. I heard that. Its not the first time he's gone off message. It can't help
him with his 'base'. They could come unwired. :)

6. He's trying to win back the Log Cabin repugs?
Hopefully too little, too late.

And turns off his bigoted base.

7. He's hoping the civil union controversy takes attention away from
Al-Qaqaa.

He'll float it for awhile, and if it bites him too hard with his base, there's plenty of time to recover by saying something homophobic.

It's a diversion. We all know he hates the idea of civil unions. Stay on task: incompetency in Iraq planning.

8. Maybe he's trying to seem more like Kerry?
Could he be that desperate?

10. No, he just wants to have his cake
and eat it too. These labels are getting out of hand, IMO. Common law and common sense say that if you have been washing someone's underwear and sharing the electric bill willingly for years, you're married for cri-yi!

12. I bet Powell is for both same-sex marriage and polygamy...
He can finally come out about his "friends" in the CCP, the KMT, the PFP, and other far-right Chinese organisations.
