Check out this news story about a Republican donor asking for his money back from the Romney campaign and switching sides. The notable part isn't the switching candidates - that can happen in the reverse, too, so it's not anything to gloat over - it's the quote down in the story about GOP advisors saying how it's risky for their candidates to continue to vociferously oppose gay marriage as it gains more acceptance. To be honest, I'm only 39, and I still didn't think this was anything I would see in my lifetime, given how big a part opposition to gay marriage played in getting Bush back into office just eight short years ago. (Yes, smearing Kerry's war record also played a part, but I try not to think about that considering he was IN Vietnam while Bush dodged his stateside military meetings as frequently as he could.)
