You knew this was coming.  The well-known position of all the top-tier Democrats in 2008 regarding marriage equality has been 1) leave it to the states and 2) they personally believe that marriage is between a man and a woman.

While we all know these positions are clearly a nod to the nationwide polls that show the numbers out there do not yet support extending the right to marry to gays and lesbians, these nonsensical positions (#1 will be decided by SCOTUS, and #2 conflates religious and civil marriage) leave Obama/Biden open to this sort of message hijacking. (Michael Petrelis):

The Yes on 8 campaign has sent out a mailer featuring on one side a grinning Barack Obama's image, with his wife Michelle laughing lovingly in the background, and a quote from him opposing gay marriage.
