Ok i'll put it better. None of the social issues are going to change in the next 4 to 8 years.

Most people are still against gay marriage. Like 70+%... and most congressmen are two cowwardly to take one of the team anymore.

Voting for one guy against gay marriage isn't going to make it more likely to happen then voting for another guy against gay marriage.

Also... McCain is about as opposite of religious conservative as someone could get.

Obama is actually more religious.  Which is why there is talk he could still some of the Evangelist base.

Heck Obama wants to expand Bush's "Faith based funding" initiative.

 

Yeah, but it's not like gay marriage is the only such issue on the table.  Women's right to choose is a big one that one ticket is very much against, and the other not. 

And I know Obama is for continuing and expanding Bush's faith based spending initiatives.  That's one of the things I don't like about Obama.  But you can't deny his voting record, which the conservatives have already touted as one of the most liberal voting records out there.

I don't care WHAT your views are, so long as you vote for progress instead of your particular viewpoint.  That's one thing I like about Obama.  Despite his deeply religious views, he is still supporting our freedoms instead of his agenda.

Well, except for FISA.  Obama gets a big FU from me for that.  And corn ethanol.  And the faith based initiatives.  But his positives far outweight the negatives I see from the Republican ticket.
