Well it's all to the good. The Amendment will never pass and all three candidates, Kerry, Edwards and Bush have had to make some posititve statement about civil unions to show they're not completely and hopelessly biased. First time any of them have committed to anything that I know of.

I wouldn't be surprised to see this make civil unions, an issue that was causing Dean some trouble only a little while ago, a virtual shoe in nation wide in only a couple of years.
