San Francisco Chronicle: Polls show Obama and McCain running neck and neck in much of the nation, which means that any issue that could bring out voters in a swing state such as Florida has to be taken seriously by both parties. Obama has tried to tread a narrow road between the two positions. He says marriage should be limited to a man and a woman but opposes California's Proposition 8, which would put that limit in the state Constitution and overturn a state Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that legalized same-sex marriage. His running mate, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden, takes the same position, opposing same-sex marriage and the state amendments that would ban it. McCain, who in 2004 opposed a GOP-backed constitutional amendment to ban same-sex unions nationwide, has long been viewed with suspicion by conservatives, so his outspoken opposition to same-sex marriage - and support for the three November initiatives - is a huge plus with that group. Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, his choice as running mate, also opposes same-sex marriages and supported a 1998 amendment to ban them in her home state.
