Because I am the Official Cellar Conspiracy Theorist ...

From what is our attention being distracted by the furor over the suggestion that there be a consitutional amendment to define marriage?

Consider also that this is all a ploy ...

Many of the online polls (I'm talking ABC, Philly Inquirer here, not newsmax.com) at least last night were running 60% against gay marriage ... so, sentiment in the country appears to be on the president's side ... making those individuals more likely to vote for him. The likelihood that such an amendment would pass, given the intricacies of the constitutional amendement process ... probably low.

Net result: Nothing obvious happens, Bush gets votes.

***

On the upside, the Senate passed the bill against nuissance lawsuits against gun manufacturers ... this, however, is likely to piss off the dems to the point they fight very hard to renew the assault weapons ban.
