This is good, and Mccain should certainly welcome gay support, but he has to be careful not to appear actively pro gay. I think Mccain’s edge is his moderate image which is worth some loss of conservative support, but you can only lose so much. No presidential candidate won with an OPENLY pro gay agenda. Many Catholics and Christians (even some Muslims?) will abandon MCcain the minute he declares his support for gay marriage.

Without conservatives, religious right, and pro family groups, Mccain’s base will all but disappear.
