. >> pete certificate a different story. >> -- peter is a different story. >> peter. >>> i think it is kind of weird if you look at the covers lately, they have nursing mothers of 3-year-olds and so they are trying to -- >> they are pulling out the big guns. >> exactly. but i will tell you the interesting thing about this whole question of gay marriage and gay and lesbian rights, i think republicans are making just an unbelievable mistake here. it may help them a little bit in the short run or play evenly in this election cycle but if you look at the change in this, you had 62% of the folks against gay marriage, 30% for just 5 years ago now that has flipped around, the american people now almost majority of them support it, if you look at interacial marriage, 1958, gallup started polling, only 4% of americans at that time, favoured interacial marriage. you know, the train is leaving the station on this stuff. young people think what are you talking about, so, what i think is happening here, is that barack obama is taking a tough stand, he is getting hit for it, certainly amongst republ
