I think he's trying to cater to the gay community but he stopped way too short when he only made it "his personal" opinion and still supported states rights. It's like giving someone a lick of their favorite ice cream and then saying, "Sorry, you can't have any more."

I don't think this would help the college vote as much as if he had gotten the College Loan interest rate lowered (which failed in congress).

Of course he is. As another poster noted, he needs gays campaign money. Question I'd like an answer to is, since the media keeps releasing these polls the purportedly prove that a majority of Americans support gay marriage, why does it lose whenever it's put to a referendum - even in deep blue states like California? And if a majority of Americans - again according to the media - support it, what exactly can he lose by open supporting it. Unless, of course, you believe the media might be lying to us. Unless of course people tell the pollsters one thing, and then act differently once the curtains are closed on the voting booth.
