The Storm

Credit where credit is due: Karl Rove protege and McCain '08 Campaign Manager Steve Schmidt "comes out" in favor of gay marriage to the Log Cabin Republicans, likening it to Civil Rights.

Meanwhile, the "storm approaching" ad by anti-equality activists has spawned a few good parodies, but none better than the master himself:

One wonders if the GOP can expand their tent as Schmidt would like, or remains prisoner of the religious voters, as he references as well:

"If you put public policy issues to a religious test, you risk becoming a religious party," Schmidt declared. "And in a free country, a political party cannot be viable in the long term if it is seen as a sectarian party."

Perhaps the GOP with have the toughest time surviving the oncoming "storm"...already in progress.
