What people are really thinking
Ogged thinks Democrats are walking into a trap on the issue of gay marriage. He may be right, but my gut reaction is just the opposite - that this can be a tremendous opportunity. The American public has too big a libertarian streak to swallow a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, but that's exactly how the issue will be defined. Those who favor an amendment will appear hateful and smallminded, while those who oppose it won't even have to favor an affirmative law to make gay marriage legal. Meanwhile the issue plays really well with young voters - it should get them energized and may even get them to vote.
On another note, a piece I heard on All Things Considered a couple weeks back made the interesting point that the whole context for this debate has changed. Not all that long ago progressives would have seen marriage itself as the problem; they would have pushed gay rights by working to eliminate marriage altogether - a sort of least common denominator argument, but also a protest over the inequalities of marriage. The wonderful thing about this latest development (beyond the fact that it addresses a sore injustice) is that it will bring new legitimacy to marriage as an institution by conceptually emphasizing equality between partners.
It's a good point about the enormity of a constitutional amendment causing something of a backlash. I do hope you're right. But an amendment takes so long to pass that the time before the next election could be spent just defining the issue, to the detriment of the Democrats.
I agree that whichever Demo wants to win this election, he should take a stand HARD and NOW on the Equal Rights of American citizens. If someone did this, and made a total all out fight over it, I think he would win hands down. Americans aren't stupid. They know discrimination when they hear it. They know marriage in America today isn't the sanctimonous instutions that the religious right makes it out to be. They know about wife beaters and child abusers and adulturers and gold diggers and cradle robbers. This issue is RIPE for solid debate. But will anyone have the guts to pick up the gauntlent and run with it??

"Americans aren't stupid. They know discrimination when they hear it."
Sure, but a goodly number of them recognize it and join right in.
