Should Romney Retrench on Gay Marriage? 9:00 Now that President Obama has announced that, having been for gay marriage (in 1996) before he was against it (in 2004 and 2008), he’s now for it again (in 2012), theWall Street Journal editorial board comes perilously close to suggesting that Mitt Romney should change his position on the issue. In the wake of Obama’s announcement — which itself came in the wake of voters in the swing-state of North Carolina having overwhelmingly issued the opposite verdict on the wisdom of redefining the core institution of society — theJournal’s editorial board advises Mitt Romney to take the position that he’s in favor of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and thinks the issue should be settled by the states. If left at that, this would entail a retrenchment for Romney, whose position has been that he supports effectively constitutionalizing DOMA and thereby preventing some states’ redefinition of marriage from forcing the hands of all the other states.
