"In my opinion, it couldn't have been worse timing. You know they say in politics, timing is everything.
It'll be a campaign issue, I think. And for Blue Dog Democrats, it could be tough."
--Del. Galen R. Clagett, on the Maryland AG's opinion that out-of-state same-sex marriages should be recognized. If Democrats can't finesse this, they should lose their elections

Blue Dog Dems? Funny. The only topic they ever touch is budget. Social issues? Never. In any case, there's a full legislative hearing schedule slated this week in Annapolis, including the proposed constitutional ban against same-sex marriage. It's the traditional lineup: Equality Maryland, advocates and Democratic congress on one side and Republican social conservatives, backed by NOM on the other. Stay tuned. The mud will be a slingin' freely.
