Yglesias Award Nominee
"Barack Obama is a better candidate than
his predecessor John Kerry in at least one important sense: he opposes
a state constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, namely, in
California. Over the weekend, Obama released
a letter saying: "I oppose the divisive and discriminatory efforts to
amend the California Constitution, and similar efforts to amend the
U.S. Constitution or those of other states."
That's quite a departure from the position Kerry and his runningmate, John Edwards, took in 2004. Indeed, the two couldn't find an anti-gay marriage amendment that they didn't support, swooping into states and urging Democrats to vote against civic equality... In many ways, Barack Obama is just another politician. Here's an exception," - Jamie Kirchick, TNR.
