Michael: I think the Feds are considering it's impact, and that is why it is not so much a "national" issue. Please give this post a read for further misgivings of single sex marriage... http://www.spankthatdonkey.com/spankthatdonkey2/2006/7/7/marriage-amendment-go-forth-be-fruitful-long-version.html

Cool! He'd probably have my vote anyway, but this is icing on the cake.

Spank That Donkey- If the federal government were to recognize gay marriage, its effects on the social security system should surely be considered... but since they don't... social security benefits would not go to a gay spouse.. Your argument has no merit.

I don't think people consider the ramifications of Gay Marriage, and the impact on the social security system.. After 10 years of marriage the spouse can get those benefits... uhhh, we got enough problems with the system ready to collapse now, why burden it further?

OMFG. I can't believe he's campaigning on this. I love Elliot Spitzer.

Attaboy Spitzer! Finally, a Dem I can vote for without holding my nose. New York is one of the few places where we could conceivably win marriage equality legislatively -- and doing it through law (rather than through the courts) would be a broader p.r. victory that could help stem the backlash since Goodridge in MA. Elliot already had my vote, but now I'll be proud to volunteer for his campaign. Nate
