Rove is probably smiling, big time
It would really suck if this stuff resulted in voter blowback that gets McCain elected because this matter can't wait another six months.
I'm thinking that the bigots
I'm thinking that the bigots against gay marriage are not planning on voting for Obama in the general election to begin with.
Note
This directive actually preceded the California announcement. The California announcement just gave it a push into the news.

Yes, but maybe they were not enthused about voting, given their party's candidate. But now they might have their own (ahem) coming out to vote for McCain.
It's become a popular GOP strategy, and this time it's just appearing to the party on a silver platter.
I'm thinking no gay couple is selfish enough to risk a Bush third term in order to slightly hasten this long overdue process. Well, maybe Cheney's daughter.
