The guy who happily used hate as a campaign tactic backs off a bit:
GOP strategist Karl Rove says he can imagine a Republican candidate in the next presidential campaign supporting gay marriage.
The statement from the former adviser to President George W. Bush appears to acknowledge that opposition to gay marriage has waned in some conservative circles.
Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, announced last week that he now supports gay marriage after learning one of his sons was gay.

While the rapid pace of change has surprised even the most optimistic among us, the long game has never really been in question. Â Alas, I’m pretty comfortable betting that, Virginia – a bastion of backwardness – will be among the last places to come around, when it comes to the law. Â Remember, this is the place that fought interracial marriage all the way to the Supreme Court.
(And lost.)
