Who Set the Low Bar?

It's disappointing to read that John McCain is supporting a state constitutional amendment in Arizona to bar gay marriage. But could McCain, running for the GOP presidential nomination, be expected to fall to the left of the "progressive" Democratic presidential nominee on gay marriage? Remember, Kerry/Edwards supported anti-gay-marriage amendments in Massachusetts, Missouri and elsewhere. If the party of the left, backed by national gay activist groups and receiving copious amounts of gay dollars, endorses anti-gay amendments, how high a bar is set for moderate Republicans to do the right thing?
