"...opponents of gay marriage say they are puzzling over why such a volatile cultural issue is not spurring more rank-and-file conservative Christians to rise up in support of the amendment"

Uh, maybe because many Christians, despite their own personal failings, really believe it is wrong to "remove the mote from your brother's eye when there is a beam in your own" and remember, in good faith, from time to time, the warning "judge not lest you be judged" ... ?

Or, because (duh!) "saving traditional marriage" really has nothing to do with a few gay folks: "saving traditional marriage" would really mean ending adultery and divorce, and the rightwing (for some mysterious reason) doesn't want to call for a constitutional amendment against either of those ... ?
