Elizabeth Edwards has come out in support of gay marriage:
I wonder if her cancer diagnosis has helped her decide that life is too short for political hypocrisy.
Or if, as this piece suggests, her public stance gives her husband--who like all the candidates is vocally against same-sex marriage--more leeway with GLBTQ voters.
No matter, in another generation or two, this issue will be seen as akin to Jim Crow laws.

My guess is it gives him the opportunity to hold both sides of the issue. I sort of thought the same thing with George Bush who is against abortion, and his wife who is not.
He said on the Tonight Show he wasn't there "yet."
And yes, that's frustrating.
When I heard him speak last week in New York (during Pride Week), he got a rousing introduction from a gay activist (originally from a North Carolina trailer park) who calls him the only candidate who gets it.
Here's hoping he gets it all soon. I was really impressed with him.
