It’s better to “evolve,” which means “delay the discussion,” and let the Republicans waste their money savaging each other. There are two ways he can insulate himself from Republican attack on marriage, one is to say he’s against it and the other is to say he is “evolving.” If he were against it, he would say so now. If he is in favor of it, the best strategy is to delay the conversation by saying he is “evolving

I think Obama is in favor of gay marriage, but won’t reveal it until after the Republican convention. That would be very good strategy.
