If this issue causes the Democrats to lose the presidency, then we deserve to lose

Seriously. Equal rights and equal protection are bread-and-butter Democratic (and "democratic") principles. If Clinton and/or Obama can't articulate that point and win the White House, then the Democrats deserve to lose the election. Likewise, if the voters focus on same-sex marriage as an election issue rather than on the war in Iraq, the economy, the environment, and all the other disasters that the Republicans have wrought, then this country deserves to have John McCain as its president.
