Is same sex marriage going to be the achilles heel of the Dems? [View All]

[eeyore]

I live in Portland, Oregon and I can tell you that conservatives here are freaking out and will mobilize against this. They feel incredibly threatened, and are going to be screaming non-stop until the presidential election that Democrats want to force them to accept government-sanctioned sin. They will most certainly be successful in bringing about a ballot measure against same sex marriage in Oregon now, and will likely be successful.

This issue will bring out the conservative voters in Oregon, and it's really starting to worry me that this could really hurt us.

I have many friends who are married and gay, and I want them all to have every right that I do, and I want it to happen as soon as possible. But we are in for a HUGE fight, and it will mobilize a lot of people who might have just stayed home.

What do you all think?
