Personally, I don't think there was ever any turning point, really.  Neither candidate really pulled ahead in any fashion.  If you switched roughly 0.05% of the total votes cast, Kerry would be president now.  To me, a "turning point" would imply that either candidate won by a sizeable margin.

If only 65,000 out of almost 2,800,000 Bush's voters in Ohio had voted the other way, then all the pundits would have come with a completely different interpretations/explanations

Yes, I know.  That 65,000 makes up the 0.05% that I referred to.

No, 65,000 voters did not change their vote because of gay marriage.

When did I say they did?  I'm just saying that, even though it was a much larger margin than 2000, it was still a very close race at the electoral college level.
