Absolutely correct. This may be the fissure that breaks the Judge gridlock. The SF Chron Manifesto reported that Barney Frank and others warned Newsom the timing was all wrong. Kerry is going to try and straddle this one and won't be able to.

This is a shot in the culture wars that will wake up voters who are not paying close attention. Here in the Bay Area the local newscasts are pushing the story with lots of video of the 'happy (male/male female/female) couples' kissing. It is infuriating many parents and people who usually could care less what someone does in the bedroom.

As long as the Media/Dems force this coverage the more angry the middle gets.

You're right. And I agree. Hope they keep pushing it in people's faces.

I really believe this is the last straw in fracturing the identity of this nation. This matter is so close to the heart of so many parents, the fact that this is so out in the open will lead to a very emotional reaction by middle America. The prime time sewage that floats across our screens every night is bad enough, but this is where the traditional family circles the wagons and says "you will not teach my children that same-sex marriage is an acceptabl norm".
