20. Call me crazy, but i think gay civil unions will ultimately be a wedge
issue that breaks in our favor. Too many suburban women have wandered into the Republican party out of fear of terrorism. I think the issue that brings them back -- probably not in 2006 but soon -- is gay civil unions (the Roe v. Wade of 2008). This issue is a time bomb for the Reptilicans. A majority of people I know over 50 years old don't get the civil unions issue, but NO ONE I know under 30 doesn't get it. Also important: the 50-and-overs are not one issue anti-civil-union voters; they'll vote to protect SS. Soon, the table will turn, and the Reptilicans will pay for the hate and homophobia they are breeding.
