Pence can kiss any talk of running for POTUS goodbye
And THIS is the reason behind this whole issue popping up out of the blue!!!
Who says he’s running for Potus? *rme*

That is the tactical victory, but there are strategic goals at well. One is as Thomas writes, to set the meme for 2016 of discriminatory Republicans. The other is as a warning to the other GOP candidates and the GOP itself that any conservative is going to get destroyed. It's designed to select another McCain or Romney as the presidential candidate.
Finally, the unintended by-product is leverage against major religious denominations to stop "discriminating" and accept gay "marriage." If there's one thing gays cannot stand, it's the truth that what they are doing is morally wrong. That's why they react so strongly because that truth strikes a very raw nerve and it hurts.
