Federal Marriage Amendment

Posted on Thursday 8 July 2004

If you haven’t been following the political developments behind the Federal Marriage Amendment (and I haven’t really), I’d recommend Kristen Lombardi’s analysis in this week’s Phoenix. Her conclusion? The GOP is forcing the issue despite its nonstarter prospects, in order to force Kerry’s hand. Only the downside for the Republicans is greater.

One dynamic I found interesting: the biggest threat to Kerry might lie not in the FMA, but rather in the many state-specific ballot initiatives that will mobilize conservative-Christian vote in swing states.

Anyway, go read the full piece.
