So Dick Cheney is now to the left of Obama on the issue of gay marriage. Is this a sign, and do political insiders believe, that ten years from now this is going to cease to be a national issue, but a minor one limited to a few red states?

Ed O'Keefe: Remember that Cheney has a gay daughter, so the issue is much different and more personal for him than those opposed to same sex marriages or who have similar views. Anecdotally, from personal experience, I can tell you that same sex marriage ceremonies or weddings are a wonderful thing to attend and you should if ever given the opportunity. They will certainly impact your thinking on the issue.
