Are we ever going to see a Dem. Presidential Candidate oppose gay marriage again

[Ogre Mage]

It depends to what degree progress is made in the states on the issue by 2016.  The Democratic Presidential Candidates will take their cue from the grassroots.  I hypothesize that if at least around a dozen states pass gay marriage or fully equal civil unions and public opinion polls show support for gay marriage at least not far from 50%, supporting gay marriage will become the mainstream Democratic position in 2016.  There may be some Dem Presidential candidates opposing it, but their view will not be considered mainstream party orthodoxy.

I would say that Obama, Clinton and probably Biden's current stance against gay marriage is political posturing, not true conviction.

I also predict that my home state, Washington, will legalize gay marriage by 2016.
