    It could reduce turnout on the margins.

      More of them might decide to stay home. But really all I'm saying is that that may have been the line of reasoning as to why it took him this long to say he supports it.

        To think it might depress AA turnout is not lunacy, though.

          Nah if turnout decreases it'll only be because the Obama hype is less this time out and re-electing the first 'Black' president is not as hype-enticing as electing him the first time. I don't see gay marriage playing much of a role.

          The majority of Blacks vote against their social beliefs all the time. Why would this be any different?

            Obama clearly ordered Biden to "come out." Obama plays strategies that people don't even get long after he's won.

              So Biden's comment was a product test?

                Obama is clearly far smarter and wiser than any of the people in this thread.

                    Anyone see the Romney comments from today? He said he's not changing his stance and has had the same stance since... he flustered a bit here and paused... 'since I took office'.

                    What? Was Romney pro-gay marriage before his governorship? Why would he specifically say since he took office after a possibly significant pause?

                        Because he's Romney. In the end, Obama's just going to beat him to death with charisma.

                          I don't think that it is impossible that this was planned from the start, but there's nothing to support that.

                            You'd also have to believe Biden can stick to a script. Occam's Razor, people.

                              Yup. Romney in 1994:

                              "As a result of our discussions and other interactions with gay and lesbian voters across the state, I am more convinced than ever before that as we seek to establish full equality for America's gay and lesbian citizens, I will provide more effective leadership than my opponent."

                              So that explains Romney specifically saying 'since I took office'.

                                Obama set this up with Biden over a decade ago.
