| #5 It was a lame attempt as a (ahem) straddle. Says his personal beleif is in favor but policy is that it belongs to the states. Since when did Obumble become a federalist? |

| #2 If Biden had been able to stay on message Obama might have been able to keep a lid on this issue. Now he risks alienating all but the looniest of voters with an issue that is peripheral at most. Anyone giving odds on Biden being kept on as VP? |
