lollardfishPremise: Democrats win elections when they are about health care, education, environment. Republicans win elections when they are about gay marriage, abortion.
National security right now is a toss-up (typically Republican, but support on Iraq extremely low).
Taxes are a toss-up (everyone likes lower taxes, but deficits high enough to raise concern for fiscal conservatives.
Problem: The gay-marriage ammendment is clearly an attempt to push the debate into a Republican side.
Solution: Democrats should say, when asked about gay-marriage, "The founding fathers wrote the Constitution to protect freedoms, not take them away. No further comment."
Better one-line answers?
