4. Please, SOMEONE take the obvious easy way out!
As many people have said, there are a few easy ways out for the candidates.

1) Just say "let the states handle it."

2) (The prefereable) Propose that the governments recognize only "civil unions" for both homosexuals and heterosexuals on an equal level, and that "marriage" is a term reserved for religions. BAM. Marriage is "defended," and no unconstitutional seperate-but-equal situation is established. Anyone who opposes this can be attacked as a bigot. Moreover, this proposition opens up an excellent counter-attack for the candidate to go after Bush, Ashcroft, and Scalia and their quest to become the (respectively) Henry VIII, John Calvin, and Pope of America.
