these people who don't, even if they don't support marriage support civil unions and are comfortable with gay people in a way that wasn't the case a decade ago. >> we here in the washington bubble have gone on about this issue head strong, it's all we talked about all over, we're going back through these pew polls, this issue gay marriage, ranks 18 out of 18 in terms of importance, dead last. the economy, gay marriage, 28. how much more system does this have or will we talk about it in the last few weeks in october november? >> i think we're talking about it now because it was an historic moment when the sitting president said that he was in favor of gay marriage. i don't think we'll talk about it next week. next week i don't know the war on seniors or whoever is next in the line that these campaigns go through as they are attacking various populations. gay marriage, it's just this -- once again become a sort of secondary issue, that people don't see as hugely important. even on the democratic side.
