She’s being called the poster child of the campaign, and no doubt, that’s not only a bold statement, but a very true statement, because it symbolizes both the intensity and complexity of the issue of gay marriage. John McCain, former presidential hopeful, had to restate his position on gay marriage (against… in case by some miracle you somehow forgot). Read the articles. Know your stuff.
Times are a-changing, and this is an interesting bit of news, especially emerging at the same time that Scott Brown wins Ted Kennedy’s former senate seat for Massachusetts. However, the reaction and the failed attempts of Dems and GOPers alike to explain WHY the GOP won in Massachusetts bluntly show that the Democratic party isn’t losing as many supporters as the GOP would like to have America think, but also that the GOP isn’t quite as far behind as the Dems would like us to think. The truth is, our nation is facing complex issues on a number of fronts, among them, health care, civil rights (gay marriage, etc), and the never-ending crusades in the Middle East.
Obviously the Democrats and GOP are at odds with each other, especially in a time of particularly intense political turmoil, however, neither party is completely stable within itself, either.
