Can McCain Keep Quiet on Connecticut Legalizing Gay Marriage?
Steve Waldman noted this week that Same-sex marriage is nowhere near the front-burner issue it was in 2004, when it might have tipped the election to George W. Bush.
Today's ruling from the Connecitcut Supreme Court legalizing gay marriage there won't change that; there is something of a financial crisis roiling the known universe.
But for the Christian Right, this is another gut check moment regarding its tacit support for McCain for president. Yes, the movement was thrilled about Sarah Palin's selection last month. But if McCain/Palin are going to stay quiet on one of its most important issues--gay marriage--the trill could be gone pretty quickly.
Beginning in 2004, the Christian Right began waging campaigns to ban same sex marriage through state constitutional amendments, an effort that's succeeded in over half the states. But the string of gay marriage legalization at the hands of the courts--the California Supreme Court legalized same-sex unions there earlier this month--is the movement's worst nightmare coming true.
McCain/Palin can't keep quiet about it without draining more enthusiasm from religious conservatives.
Here's the reaction Family Research Council Action president Tony Perkins just sent 'round to supporters:
This decision puts marriage at risk all across the nation and highlights the need for a Marriage Protection Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It is imperative both Presidential candidates address the problems created by four activist judges in Connecticut. We call on Senators John McCain and Barack Obama to explain what they would do as President addressing the issue of same-sex marriage and articulating their criteria for ensuring that judges they appoint follow the law of the land and not legislate from the bench.
Let's see--how many of those things have McCain/Palin done?
Advocate for the Marriage Protection Amendment? Nope. McCain opposes it.
Explain what they would do as President addressing the issue of same-sex marriage? Nope. McCain/Palin hardly ever mention it. Palin went so far as to say that same-sex couples are entitled to certain rights at the vice presidential debate
Decry activist judges? Yes--McCain and Palin do that that all the time.
But according to the FRC Action, they're batting one for three.

Huck, Culture Warrior
Remember back to the Republican primaries, when Mike Huckabee campaigned as a new kind of evangelical candidate, adding issues like the environment, education, and poverty to the hot-button agenda of God, guns, and gays?
That big-tent Huck seems to be in much shorter supply now. An email the Arkansas governor just sent out soliciting donations for his political action committee--whose beneficiaries include John McCain and Sarah Palin--asks fors $5 for each of these five red meat issues:
1. Protection of Human Life 2. Traditional Marriage 3. Tax policy that doesn't punish people for working, but rewards them 4. 2nd amendment rights 5. Supreme Court and Federal Court judge selection
Is this more evidence that the "new kind of evangelical voter" story has been overplayed? Or just that Huck is changing his tune a bit?

New Fidelis Anti-Abortion, Anti-Gay Marriage Video
Check out this new election video emphasizing pro-life, anti-gay marriage positions from the conservative Catholic group Fidelis. The New York Times reports that the video, which implies support for the Republican ticket, has been posted by Catholic churches across the country on their web site. For a good example, check out the site of The Cathedral of St. Peter in Joe Biden's hometown; the site features the video on a special welcome page that appears even before the full homepage does.
God-o-Meter noticed that this video eschews the kind of red meat messages that were prevalent among conservative pro-Bush Catholic groups in 2004. It's a lot subtler, appealing to the bipartisan sensibility of many Catholics.
There's a handsome shot of John F. Kennedy, for instance.
There's another of Martin Luther King, Jr.
And one of a nuclear power plant spewing steam into the air juxtaposed with text that says "No Issue Can Be Ignored," a nod to the environmental concerns of most Catholics.
As The Times reports, liberal Catholic groups are challenging conservatives to a much greater extent than in '04. But conservative Catholic groups are clearly gaining better access to Catholic churches than in years past, as illustrated by the video gambit. So progressive Catholic groups may have plenty of catching up to do, tactics-wise.
