I mean, at this point it's when, not if. Besides, most Americans support it already.
Do any of the R contenders support SSM? If not, do you think they will retcon their views and say they do when it's closer to election season?
Meaghan McCain and Steve Schmidt said so in the spring of 2009.
They were looking toward a change, from the citizenry, on this issue. And they were expressing concern about their party, and suggested it become a part of the platform.
There is a video in which Schmidt, now with MSNBC, and David Plouffe talked about the presidential election of 2012. It was just days thereafter. Schmidt cited a problem with his party is their intrusion into people's personal sex lives as diametrically opposed to what actual conservatism is about. And he noted that Rick Santorum was a big offender of this; in that Santorum had his strange fixation on both gay sex and contraception. Which, of course, makes sense given most presidents aren't into other people having sex the way Rick Santorum was. Then again, it may have been that Rick Santorum doesn't have sex.
in 2009, Meaghan McCain and Steve Schimdt were forward-thinking and tried to alert their party.
