posted Friday, May 4, 2012 - Volume 40 Issue 18 Gay marriage is distancing Obama from other DemocratsAs Vice President Joe Biden and other prominent party members vocalize their support, the president risks being left behind on the issue.

But other Democrats with future White House ambitions are in a much different place.

As a result, a growing number of prominent Democratic leaders are leaving the president behind on gay marriage, which he opposes. full story: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-same-sex-marriage-20120508,0,7524008.story |
