Veteran asks Mitt about his position on gay marriage. Mitt reiterates marriage is only between man and women. Guy wishes Mitt "good luck, you'll need it" and makes a few other comments.

Turns out, after Mitt moves on to another table, that the veteran is gay, and the guy sitting with him is his husband. They were married in New Hampshire. The guy will not be voting for Mitt.

Romney questioned by veteran at diner
Veteran responds to Romney's answer to reporters

To be fair, Obama hasn't exactly been a strong supporter of gay marriage either. There is no doubt that a Republican in the White House would be a step backwards for gay rights but I suspect they see Obama only as the lesser of two evils.

i'd be cautious about writing off the guy with the most money and best organization.

i get that gingrich has momentum but he doesn't have a lot of feet on the ground. he's trying to build an organization now. three weeks before iowa.

romney has staying power. he can take losses in the early states (although florida would be a serious problem) and still move on. gingrich is walking a knifes edge where any shift in the wind guts his fundraising.

but we're talking about a party that at state levels has made some insane candidate choices. if newt can avoid being newt for a few months, who knows?

as someone who'll vote for obama, i'm rooting for the guy. he polls a lot worse than romney with independants.

I hope california falls into the pacific the first monday of november.

It's the Democratic wet dream to go up against Newt instead of Romney. Some say the Dem ad that came out about Newt should help him in Iowa - and it's also speculated the Dems did that on purpose

But I'll guess Newt won't be able to continue to hold his real self in, like he did at the debate. He's already got the staunch Republican old-school reaming him unabashedly in public.

I think Obama vs. Ron Paul would be the best thing for this country. Just wipe all the crazy and hate out of the political system for a while. Gawd, how refreshing.

Obama may be the lesser of two evils, but DADT is gone.
