NICK GILLESPIE: “Sadly, the Predictably Lame Arguments Against Gay Marriage Seem to be Working Quite Well. When it comes to recognizing gay marriage (which the polling compnay asking about in the mid-’90s), Gallup finds support slipping from a high of 46 percent in 2007 to 40 percent this year.” Actually, I think the behavior of those arguing for gay marriage has as much to do with the polls.
