Some 75 prominent Republicans (although many of them are “formers” no longer in political positions of power) have come out in support of gay marriage in a “friend of the court” brief filed with the Supreme Court.

How much this group will dilute the $3 million campaign being mounted against us by the GOP’s Conservative core is dubious. But one thing’s for sure – if the ‘Pubs don’t do a 360 degree turn on social issues like gay marriage, abortion, women’s rights and gun control pretty damn quick, they’ll be dead in the water come next election time.

And that’s not me saying that, but dyed-in-the-wool GOP loyalists I know.
