Yeah, there's no way that Bush can just remain silent on this one. It's out there. The momentum is growing, more county counsels are finding ways to justify the issuance of same sex marriage certs (looks like OR is next, according to today's paper), mayors are getting arrested for performing marriages, etc etc.
The battle has been joined, and if the religious right doesn't see their main man next to them on the battlefield they're going to be pretty pissed. And if the folks on the other side see Bush isn't there they're going to be asking why not, esp when a prime line of attack on Kerry is going to be his flipflopping on his positions in prior Senate votes.
I think the Cheney tiptoeing was only to avoid him having to explicitly support a constitutional amendment in direct opposition to the states rights position he expressed favor for during the '00 campaign. No more, no less.
