May 9th Prediction: Obama or Romney?

[Jacob]

Well, Obama just came out in favour of gay marriage. I expect Romney to win.

[derspiess]

You people have to be shitting me:  I'm the only one that chose the Romney option???

If the election were held today, I think Romney would win.  I'm too pessimistic to think that will hold, however.

Updated 3:01 p.m. - President Obama endorsed the right of same-sex couples to marry on Wednesday, a landmark pronouncement made in light of mounting pressure from gay right advocates.

Obama became the first U.S. president to back the right of gay and lesbian couples to marry, a reversal from his own views as stated in the 2008 campaign, when he said he opposed same-sex marriage but favored civil unions as an alternative.

Obama told ABC News that, after reflection, he had "concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married."

I'd like to amend my previous statement.  Ignore the "5-4" part.  It won't get that far now.

I'm still giggling over the Politico dude's tweet that pink smoke was coming out of the White House chimney

As I said in the other thread, Obama did the right thing, which is a bad move when you're a politician.

Let's hope that the gay marriage thing sinks Obama, so that no politician will ever attempt to treat gays as if they were the equals of people ever again.

Does this sort of thing still work on Mart?

[Ed Anger]

I would gladly support the gays if certain gays lose all their rights. Like Mart and Perez Hilton.

When gays become mainstream they will move to exclude the more embarrassing amongst them.  Dan Savage will be remembered like Marcus Garvey is.

Didn't he play for the Dodgers?

He did.

I wanted somebody to be so oblivious to the humor so I could have used this:

At this point, I see Obama getting a narrow win.

That could change if the Euro implodes or something similarly dramatic happens.

Of course we aren't. I meet people everyday that I'm superior to.
