For all of the countless times the presidential candidates have laid out their positions on the war, the economy and health care, there is one issue that they haven't talked about much: gay marriage. (NPR)
For both Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain, it is risky territory, where they have as much to lose as they have to gain. Political consultant Doug Hattaway has advised many Democratic candidates on gay issues. He says candidates ought to steer clear of same sex marriage this year simply because it's relatively unimportant to voters.
"Bottom line is, I think that both candidates feel squeezed. So the best approach is to talk about the economy," Hattaway said.
Tom McClusky of the Family Research Council says that if McCain will not bring up gay marriage, conservatives will. "The senator, so far, has not been a candidate who motivates the grassroots," he said. "But these issues motivate the grassroots and will get the people in churches and people who care about these issues not only out to vote, but hopefully, bringing their friends along."

What's the point in raising the issue? Whatever the outcome of the election, neither candidate believes in marriage equality. Obama wants civil unions at the federal level but such unions only confer roughly more than 400 of the 1324 rights that marriage provides...so....NO EQUALITY.
