"Although Rudy may grudgingly say he doesn't support gay marriage (and it would be political suicide for him to do otherwise), where he really stands on the issue is an open question."
No, Rudy has said point blank, not grudglingly, that he is against gay marriage and that it is a state issue. And it is a state issue. The POTUS and no power over marriage at all!!! Which means the POTUS has the same amount of power over the issue as your local dog catcher. Think about it.

The concept of Federalism goes over the heads of Rudy haters. Believe me, you can explain it to them until you're blue in the face and they refuse to give an inch.
