We’ve already heard a few whispers about the GOP backing off the hardliner stance against gay marriage. McCain’s campaign manager said as much, so has David Brooks, and so did McCain’s daughter — although I’m not sure how much relevance she has.
It seems as though public opinion has flipped pretty quickly following the Iowa gay marriage change. I think most people realize that marriage equality is inevitable over the long run and they’re afraid of being on the losing team. Perhaps we’ll actually see some Republicans switching their stance on this in a hope to exploit it before the Dems can. Remember, Obama ran against gay marriage. Imagine that — the GOP being the party of gay marriage!
